A significant programme, a serious role. The UK is investing in new nuclear capacity at a scale not seen for a generation. The engineering programmes supporting that build-out are complex, long-horizon, and demanding. Capax Mundi is searching, on behalf of a client, for a Structural Engineer to join one of those programmes and contribute to work that genuinely matters.
This is a structural engineering position supporting a UK nuclear new build programme. You will work on technically demanding structural challenges within a safety-critical environment, contributing to design and delivery across the programme lifecycle. A core part of the work involves finite element analysis using Ansys, so hands-on FEA experience is central to the role. The position is remote, with occasional site or office attendance as the programme requires.
What we are looking for:
- The essential requirement is a minimum of six years of structural engineering experience in a safety-critical environment.
- We are open to backgrounds across industries where structural integrity and rigorous engineering standards are non-negotiable, including:
- Nuclear (new build, decommissioning, or operations)
- Aerospace and defence
- Major civil infrastructure (bridges, tunnels, rail)
- Oil and gas (offshore or onshore)
- Practical FEA experience, with proficiency in Ansys.
- You will be comfortable working within formal engineering governance and safety case frameworks, and confident in your ability to apply structural principles to novel or complex challenges.
