About the Opportunity

We are looking to recruit an experienced nuclear graphite engineer to help support life extension of the current AGR fleet of nuclear stations and to continue to develop and deliver a strategy for expanding the client base beyond the traditional customers. As part of the team, you will be delivering important solutions to real problems, meeting the UK energy demands and carbon emissions targets.

The team comprises a broad range of Engineering and Scientific experts spanning mathematics, physics, structural and mechanical engineering, software development, finite-element stress analysis, and structural integrity analysis and assessment. We provide these services to a range of customers, mainly but not exclusively in the nuclear industry, to ensure the economic and safe operation of capital-intensive plant, from both government and private industry. We also actively participate in a number of national and international projects and work closely with other parts of Amentum to provide integrated solutions to client requirements. The team excels at hybrid working, with some days at home and others in our offices in Warrington, Knutsford and Manchester.
