Location: Bristol, Glasgow, Burton on Trent, Gloucester, Leatherhead, Manchester, Plymouth

Working Pattern: We operate a flexible hybrid working pattern at Frazer-Nash, with time split between the office and working from home.

The Frazer-Nash Asset Integrity Teams are set up to provide knowledge and understanding on the integrity and design of mechanical structures using innovative analysis and assessment approaches. We support our clients by delivering expert guidance and efficient operation of assets that are high value, high performance and safety critical. The work we deliver ranges from substantiation of new designs to supporting life extension of critical plant. There is significant demand for these skills across the life cycle of nuclear programmes from small modular reactors, new builds, power generation, life extension, defueling, and decommissioning.

To that end we are seeking to recruit skilled engineers that can ensure we meet our clients’ requirements. In your role you’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate experience of conducting structural integrity work within the nuclear sector. You will use your skills, experience and understanding with FEA, design code assessments, fatigue, fracture and/or fitness-for-service to solve demanding integrity problems. As a commercially oriented business, you will have a central role in the planning and management of projects, holding client relationships, and delivering against their requirements. You won’t be working alone as you will work closely with your technical group, the wider business, and be part of a variety of project delivery teams. In your role, you will be investing in the future of engineering through supporting the development and mentoring of junior engineers and contributing to the development of future capabilities.

Frazer-Nash has a culture based on the values of honesty, positivity, trust and community. We value our colleagues and customers alike. The successful candidate should be able to articulate how they will contribute towards this culture. The successful candidate will be able to enjoy hybrid working conditions with flexibility around working from home or from one of our offices.
