About the Opportunity
Amentum is currently recruiting for a Civil Engineer to join our Nuclear Power and Engineering Technical Services (NPETS) business. NPETS is entering an exciting phase of opportunity by supporting our key client’s UK nuclear fleet through a business transformation, and by supporting new small modular reactor (SMR) developers. Our work is varied, covering New Build, Generation, Life Extension, and Defueling, and our capabilities are in demand across the nuclear sector.
Are you good at spinning plates?
It’s not something you see very often on TV these days, but figuratively, it is a very useful skill, one which is vital if your goal is to keep nuclear power stations operating safely, contributing to the UK’s Net Zero carbon target, or to help prepare them for decommissioning.
The UK’s five operating stations deliver 16% of the UK’s power, and it takes a large team delivering 100’s of projects to enable these stations to continue generating as well as defuel the three stations that have ceased operation - and that’s a lot of plates.
And this is where you come in
Your role will be to support civil engineering teams and activities, delivering complex engineering solutions to time, cost and quality on projects of varying sizes. If you’re familiar with project delivery, you’ll know that they have plenty of moving parts and complexity, which is why you’ll be working alongside our Operations Managers, Engineering Managers and Principal/Senior Engineers.
People are at the heart of everything we do
Centre to the success of the role will be your people skills, building effective relationships and interacting with multiple internal and external stakeholders in multiple locations.
You’ll also work closely with colleagues to support activities that offer the best service to the client. Through your interactions, you’ll be able to gather useful intelligence on client needs and work with the team to deliver innovative solutions.
You’ll utilise your strong communication and engagement skills to achieve client, people and business outcomes, working with your team and peers that are based in different locations across the UK.
We’re continuously evolving and growing the business, so there’s plenty of opportunity to evolve and grow your skills and career too.
This role will be based at one of our NPETS offices (Newcastle, Warrington, Gloucester, Bristol or Knutsford). We put flexibility at the heart of what we do and we’re happy to consider flexible working patterns. Key responsibilities will be\:
Receive, analyse and verify the consistency of the input data Produce design deliverables (assumption notes, technical specifications and calculation notes, etc)Perform design and analysis tasks as necessary Review and/or develop nuclear safety case inputs, such as Safety Functional Requirements (SFRs), Basis of Design, Structural Design Method Statements (SDMSs) and Design Substantiation Reports (DSR) Review and justify design decisions to the Office of Nuclear Regulation (ONR) Technical verifications of civil engineering documents Create and maintain CDM Designers Risk Registers and associated CDM deliverables Work with international SMR developers to pass through the Office of Nuclear Regulation’s Generic Design Assessment process *
