Job description

As a graduate, you will be a part of this and you will typically be working on multiple projects simultaneously, managing your time and accruing a wealth of experience and skills. Hence, no two days in Frazer-Nash will be the same. As a Mechanical/ Aeronautical Graduate Engineer you'll be surrounded by a collaborative engineering community to support you deliver impact, learn, and excel. This community includes your graduate engineer peers and those in the first few years of their careers through to internationally recognised experts with many decades of experience. Given the multidisciplinary and collaborative nature of our work you will be supporting not just your immediate teams, but also in a range of other fields - whether it's engineering, digital or human sciences, we're an interesting bunch. The role: This is a Mechanical/Aeronautical Graduate Engineer role within our Engineering stream at Frazer-Nash. As a graduate you could be joining one of the following discipline areas:

• Fluids, Thermal and Process Engineering
• Structural and Mechanical Integrity
• Design of hardware

These areas support our Defence, Energy and Transport & Industry client sectors and are geographically based across our range of UK offices. Within these areas you will be involved in delivery a diverse range of projects to our clients working from component level to system level, throughout all aspects of project lifecycle (from R&D to decommissioning) and in conjunction with other technical disciplines.

Your projects could include

• aerodynamic optimisation of an offshore wind farm;
• assessing the integrity of nuclear power station equipment for extended life;
• design of a space based resource extraction systems;
• prediction of cooling flow effectiveness in an aerospace jet engine;
• certification of a structure for operation during earthquakes;
• development of multi-physics novel space satellite system;
• design of process equipment for packaging and storage of nuclear waste.

Those selected will receive training, mentoring and coaching to support their development into becoming well-rounded consultants and will be supported to achieve professional accreditations including chartership with one of our five partnered institutions (IMechE, RAeS, IET, RINA & IoP). Due to the nature of the work that Frazer-Nash Consultancy undertake, candidates will be required to undergo pre-employment screening and will be to satisfy clearance criteria for UK National Security Vetting.

As a consultancy organisation

We are looking for highly motivated, innovative, organised and inquisitive people, who would like to solve complex problems.

• A problem solver: with the ability to critically question what you see, to solve problems that build on your technical understanding, and show initiative and ownership for your ideas and work.
• A collaborator: with the ability to work with supervision and with others with different technical backgrounds.
• A self-starter: with the ability and desire to take ownership of the tasks ahead of you and deliver them to the client, project or team to create an impact.
• A communicator: with the ability to discuss and convey projects and outcomes with internal stakeholders and clients who may be themselves in a technical or non-technical role.

You will need to have obtained a 2:1 Degree or higher (or equivalent/experience) with a related Engineering or relevant physical sciences bias.
