HVAC Systems Engineer - Nuclear

We’re the UK branch of ABMI, a French engineering consulting group with over 35 years of experience delivering high-level expertise in critical industries like nuclear energy, aerospace, and transportation. In the UK, we’re applying our nuclear expertise to projects with EDF, a long-standing client we’ve supported for years in France. That trust opened the door for us to expand—and now, we’re writing the UK chapter of this story. We’re here to deliver tailored engineering solutions that drive results.

Our UK agency is seeking a skilled HVAC Engineer to join our team in Bristol. You will support engineering activities related to HVAC systems for high-profile nuclear projects such as Sizewell C (SZC) and Hinkley Point C (HPC).

As an HVAC Engineer, you will assist the team lead with the coordination, execution, and quality assurance of HVAC layout design and integration across one or more buildings:

• Support the technical coordination and layout engineering studies for HVAC systems.
• Contribute to the integration of HVAC designs within multidisciplinary building layouts.
• Analyze input data (e.g., P&IDs, equipment data, cable lists, electrical load lists) and ensure technical consistency.
• Assist in the coordination of 3D modeling activities, collaborating with the design office to ensure quality and compliance.
• Monitor and follow up on design Open Points within your building scope.
• Ensure all deliverables comply with technical standards and project requirements.

At ABMI UK, we combine the strength of a well-established European engineering group with the agility of a human-sized team. Here, you’ll join a consulting company, not a recruitment agency—a place where your expertise truly matters, and where your voice helps shape our future.

• Access to clear, structured career paths, with opportunities to grow into leadership or technical expert roles.
• Personalized support and mentoring to help you develop your skills, expand your knowledge, and reach your professional goals.
