Our Nuclear division is a leading consultancy providing multi-disciplinary engineering support services to all project stages, from concept through to completion, to owners, operators, regulators, and suppliers to a diversified set of clients. Within the Nuclear sector, we're involved across the whole life cycle of the nuclear industry, building the next generation of nuclear power stations and the first large scale prototype fusion reactor, meeting the challenge of keeping the current nuclear fleet operational and tackling complex decommissioning projects. With existing relationships with the major operators in the Nuclear and Power sector, we offer a hugely stimulating variety of work, within a team which is rapidly developing to support the delivery of new nuclear build, maintaining the existing nuclear and power generating assets and building net zero energy capabilities. Our projects are on a global scale with opportunities across the UK, Europe, North America, and the Middle East, across a range of projects.
You will be working across our business, for different global regions in supporting various nuclear plant systems. You will be required to support nuclear power plant design and refurbishment activities such as piping design and analysis of nuclear process systems, equipment selection and production of procurement specifications, seismic assessments of piping and supports, equipment and piping layout, etc. As we support our clients you may be expected to travel and work from client sites across the geographies we work in as the role, project or secondment requires.
There has never been a more exciting time than now to join the industry as we engineer a cleaner, zero-carbon future for our planet.
