Site Structural and Design Liaison Engineer

We offer an exciting range of opportunities to develop your career within a supportive and diverse team who always strive to do the right thing for our people, clients and communities. People are our greatest asset, and we offer a competitive package to retain and attract the best talent. In addition to the benefits you'd expect, UK employees also receive free single medical cover and digital GP service, family-friendly benefits such as enhanced parental leave pay and free membership of employee assistance and parental programmes, plus reimbursement towards relevant professional development and memberships. We also give back to our communities through our Collectively program which incorporates matched-funding, paid volunteering time and charitable donations. Work-life balance and flexibility is a key focus area for us. We're happy to discuss hybrid, part-time and flexible working hours, patterns and locations to suit you and our business.

The Opportunity: Amentum is the Design and Engineering partner for Sellafield under the PPP (Programme and Project Partners). This is a 20-year arrangement to deliver ~£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 provision of supporting services.

The Project: The SIXEP Continuity Plant (SCP), being delivered by the Programme and Project Partners (PPP) at Sellafield, will ensure the site's existing Site Ion Exchange Effluent Plant (SIXEP) facility can continue its vital work for decades to come. The newbuild SCP facility will play a vital part in Sellafield's purpose to create a clean and safe environment for future generations. Once operational SCP will ensure the nuclear site will have continued availability to treat and make safe the effluent created by risk reduction activities.

The Role: Due to continuing work SCP are now 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 and therefore familiarity in these design areas is essential. Structural types include 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 these codes will be necessary. The architectural package comprises a 'typical' factory fit-out, albeit with a final intent to also meet its nuclear functions. This includes partitions, blockwork, internal and external finishes, external and roof cladding and 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 process includes temporary works checking procedures and interaction with team members to ensure the quality of the on-site work produced. In addition, it may be necessary to attend meetings and make visits to off-site fabrication works during which time there will be dialogue with other discipline engineers, project engineers and site operations.

As a Site Structural Engineer you will already have:

• Degree qualified (e.g. HNC/HND with significant experience) in engineering discipline
• 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

Our Culture: Our values stand on a foundation of safety, integrity, inclusion and diversity. We put people at the heart of our business, and we genuinely believe that we all succeed by supporting one another through our culture of caring. We value positive mental health and a sense of belonging for all employees. We aim to embed inclusion and diversity in everything we do. We know that if we are inclusive, we're more connected, and if we are diverse, we're more creative. We accept people for who they are, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, mental health, race, faith or belief, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, and whether you're pregnant or on family leave. This is reflected in our wide range of Global Employee Networks centered on inclusion and diversity. We partner with VERCIDA to help us attract and retain diverse talent. As a Disability Confident employer, we will interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for a vacancy. We welcome applications from candidates who are seeking flexible working and from those who may not meet all the listed requirements for a role.
