Job description

The Opportunity

Our client is the Design and Engineering partner for Sellafield under the PPP (Programme and Project Partners). This is a 20‑year arrangement to deliver approximately £7bn of major projects. We are looking to recruit high‑value expertise from across regulated and comparable sectors to work in a collaborative environment. PPP is delivering major projects, site‑wide improvements and supporting services.

Your duties and responsibilities

Due to continuing work at SCP we are looking to recruit a CS&A Site‑based Design Liaison Engineer. Reporting to the SCP CS&A RE (but working closely with Site Construction), the Site‑based CS&A Design Liaison Engineer should have a good knowledge of civil, structural and architectural design and construction.

Technical Skills

The structural design will primarily comprise reinforced concrete and structural steelwork, including concrete process cells, steelwork superstructures (including crane support) and pipe bridges, in addition to civil groundworks and above and below‑ground services. The design has been carried out using Eurocodes, and experience of these codes—or the flexibility to adapt to them—is essential. The architectural package comprises a typical factory fit‑out, with partitions, blockwork, internal and external finishes, external and roof cladding, associated rainwater goods, internal and external doors (including key‑suiting access control mechanisms), ironmongery, fire‑stopping and overall fire strategy, and tie‑in works to the existing SIXEP plant. Design processes include temporary works checking procedures and interaction with team members to ensure the quality of the on‑site work produced. Attendance at off‑site fabrication works and meetings with other discipline engineers, project engineers and site operations may also be required.

You will have the following qualifications & experience

• Degree qualified (or HNC/HND with significant experience) in a relevant engineering discipline.
• Experience in the resolution of construction issues, TQs, concessions and production permits.
• Design and checking of miscellaneous specialist calculations and reports.
• General ongoing design reviews in support of manufacture, and conducting specific SDDRs and MDDRs as appropriate.
• Package management for specific issues not captured within the general programme.
• Continual ongoing assurance of the application of CDM and the recording of such.
• Reviewing, justifying and preparing design changes deemed necessary to satisfy the CSA design case.

The setting for the role

The role will be mainly office‑based with trips to site if required. A safety induction will be provided.
