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 Energy 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:

• Working within integrated multi-disciplinary teams to deliver high profile projects
• Manage programmes and resources, delivering to time and budget
• Take ownership of technical challenges, develop a strategy and implement the solution through engagement with internal and external stakeholders
• Deliver technical solutions, via analysis and design
• Produce and review design deliverables (assumption notes, technical specifications and calculation notes, etc)
• Work with international SMR developers to pass through the Office of Nuclear Regulation’s Generic Design Assessment process
• Review and justify design decisions to the ONR
• Fulfil and take ownership of CDM responsibilities
• Support preparation of fee proposals
