Mechanical Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Support the design and development of complex mechanical handling systems, components, and assemblies for use in nuclear environments.
• Produce and review detailed design documentation including design reports, calculations, 3D models, and manufacturing drawings.
• Apply sound engineering judgement to ensure compliance with safety, regulatory, and quality requirements.
• Work closely with EC&I, civil, and process engineering disciplines to deliver fully integrated engineering solutions.
• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and HAZOP/HAZAN studies.
• Contribute to project planning, cost estimation, and schedule management.
• Ensure designs meet client specifications and standards while maintaining a focus on operability, maintainability, and safety.

Core Skills & Experience

• Proven experience in mechanical design and engineering delivery within highly regulated industries (nuclear preferred, but oil & gas, defence, or power generation considered).
• Demonstrable experience in the design and development of mechanical handling systems and related equipment.
• Proficient in the use of common design tools such as SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, or similar 3D CAD platforms.
• Strong understanding of engineering principles, materials selection, manufacturing methods, and design substantiation.
• Experience producing and managing detailed design documentation and supporting project assurance processes.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to interface effectively across disciplines and stakeholders.

Qualifications & Accreditations

• Degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Chartered Engineer (CEng) or working towards professional registration highly advantageous.
• Additional industry accreditations or nuclear safety training (e.g., SQEP, IOSH, SC clearance) are highly desirable.
