About the Opportunity

Amentum Engineering Development are currently recruiting an EC&I technician to strengthen our existing capability in support of our 'Materials Science and Structural Integrity Laboratories' at Birchwood, Warrington. These facilities provide a suite of test rigs and equipment operating at high temperatures and pressures providing vital data in relation to structural integrity and corrosion. The role will also support several exciting upcoming projects across the wider 'Engineering Development' team delivering innovative solutions for our client base across the nuclear industry and associated energy sector.
