We encourage early applications, as vacancies may close once we receive sufficient applications.

Who We Are?

Frazer-Nash are an engineering, systems and technology consultancy. Through our meaningful innovations, our experts support organisations to make lives safe, secure, sustainable and affordable.

In a nutshell, engineering consultancy is all about providing advice to positively impact our clients’ projects and businesses and the wider world around us.

Why Frazer-Nash?

The world and our clients have lots of problems and we get a kick out of finding engineering and technology solutions to these problems. As a graduate, you will be working on multiple projects simultaneously, managing your time and accruing a wealth of experience and skills. No two days in Frazer-Nash will be the same.

Our people are at the very heart of what we do, they are the reason our clients work with us to solve some of their biggest challenges. At Frazer-Nash, we want all our people to feel they belong, confident in the knowledge that we value and respect the commitment they have made by entrusting their careers and expertise to us.

The role

Climate change is the toughest and most urgent problem of all. Our nuclear teams work hard to deliver the clean, safe and reliable energy which will be essential for Net Zero.

We support the UK’s nuclear new build programme and bring advanced nuclear technologies (fusion and next generation fission reactors) to fruition. We work to ensure the safe operation of existing nuclear power stations and the decommissioning of old facilities. We also support the security of the UK by supporting our customers deliver and maintain the nuclear propulsion capability of the country’s submarines.

In this role you will support, advise and solve problems for nuclear facility owners. You will liaise and work with technical experts, operators, designers and the regulator, building enduring working relationships. Your work could be analysing designs of new nuclear technologies, working out if the life of a nuclear facility can be extended, producing a safety case for a nuclear asset, or delivering part of a new build project. You can expect to spend some time on our clients’ sites.

Those selected will receive training, mentoring and coaching to support their development into well-rounded consultants and will be supported to achieve professional accreditations including chartership with one of our institutions (IMechE, RAeS, IET, RINA & IoP, IChemE).

We’re looking for people who can become:

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.

Due to the nature of the work that Frazer-Nash Consultancy undertake, candidates will be required to undergo pre-employment screening and will be required to satisfy clearance criteria for UK National Security Vetting.

Here’s what we offer:

• The opportunity to join and learn with a team that’s both enthusiastic and encouraging.
• An attractive salary: £33,000 + £2,000 joining bonus
• 25 days holiday + the opportunity to buy 5 days.
• A company that has its heart in the right place and a welcoming work culture.
• Hybrid working with flexibility around life outside of work.
• Company pension scheme.
• Private healthcare membership + wellbeing support.
• Bonus scheme linked into company performance.
• Support and mentoring on route to achieving professional accreditation.
• Paid membership fees to a professional institution.
