This vital new‑build facility will play a key role in Sellafield’s mission to create a cleaner and safer environment for future generations.

The Role

As a CS&A Structural Engineer, you will be a key contributor on a major nuclear infrastructure project, working closely with both design and construction stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design of reinforced concrete and steelwork structures in accordance with relevant codes and standards (e.g. Eurocodes)
  • Production and checking of structural calculations and engineering drawings
  • Development of underpinning calculations to justify designs, including service supports
  • Review and checking of specialist and third‑party calculations
  • Responding to emergent structural technical queries during design and construction
  • Liaising with multidisciplinary teams and attending meetings and occasional site visits

What We’re Looking For

  • Degree qualified in a relevant engineering discipline (e.g. Structural Engineering)
  • Chartered Engineer status preferred, but not essential
  • Proven experience in structural design (reinforced concrete and steelwork)
  • Sound understanding and application of Eurocodes
  • Ability to interpret and produce high‑quality engineering documentation
  • Comfortable working in a regulated or safety‑critical environment
  • Eligible and willing to obtain Security Clearance (SC)
