Job description

AtkinsRéalis is looking to grow our team of process engineers within the Nuclear EMEA business. If you have the passion to join some of these exciting projects, then we would love to hear from you.,

• We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and skills, and take a strengths‑based approach to interviewing, looking to fit roles to the applicant's strengths to allow them to support the development of their own careers and success of the business.
• We are looking for people who can lead a small team of engineers, understand the commercial aspects of our work and be confident in front of our clients.
• We are looking for qualified engineers (BEng/MEng in Chemical or Process Engineering), with IChemE chartership if possible., The UK is the first major economy to legislate for a Net Zero target by 2050. To achieve this, our Energy Teams are ensuring a mix of secure and sustainable energies that can meet our industry and lifestyle demands today, and in 30 years' time. We help to power our world through exciting new technologies and intelligent cybersecurity systems on projects that vary greatly in size, scope, and scale. So, you'll be creating the right safe and resilient systems across nuclear power, renewables, decarbonisation development, new builds and energy efficiency.
  Experience in the nuclear industry would be ideal. We welcome the learning you can bring from other industries, but an understanding of nuclear basics is expected.
• Let us know if you have specific skills, such as using chemical process simulation software packages to design, optimize, and troubleshoot chemical processes, or perhaps experience in working on a model-based systems approach (MBSA) project.
• We expect you to communicate well in written and verbal form.
• We want you to enjoy mentoring and guiding junior engineers and be keen to take a key role within the department.
  We work collaboratively to solve technical challenges across the entire project lifecycle, from concept design to decommissioning. Our day to day activities include production of process engineering deliverables (process sizing calculations, heat & material balances, P&IDs, etc.), process modelling, and process safety activities (HAZID/HAZOP studies, DSEAR assessments, etc.).

We collaborate across the AtkinsRéalis business to provide our technical expertise where it is needed the most, giving our clients the best engineering solutions. We strengthen the delivery of work through a variety of means, including full-time embedded resource within client offices, site-based roles, and in‑house engineering support from AtkinsRéalis offices. At all times we are focused on providing high quality work to the client.
