Qualifications
Nuclear experience is highly valuable, especially from new build, decommissioning, or defence programmes. Engineers from other highly regulated sectors, such as major energy infrastructure, may also possess transferable skills in configuration control and complex engineering delivery. We acknowledge that the ideal candidate rarely exists, so if you believe you meet around 80% of the criteria and are eager to grow professionally, we strongly encourage you to apply. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. Experience within nuclear, defence, or highly regulated engineering environments. Strong grasp of configuration management and engineering design control. Experience with complex mechanical systems on major infrastructure programmes. Ability to analyze engineering datasets and identify opportunities for improvement. Experience managing engineering documentation and configuration baselines.
About the job
This exciting hybrid position located in Bridgwater is ideal for candidates residing within commuting distance or those open to relocation. The role is pivotal in supporting configuration alignment and engineering integration for two significant nuclear programmes. Your future team is dedicated to capturing and applying lessons learned from established nuclear projects to replication activities while enhancing configuration management and engineering coordination within Mechanical, Piping, and HVAC systems.
Your responsibilities will include coordinating Mechanical, Piping, and HVAC work packages within configuration management systems.
Developing reference configuration datasets to support replication across nuclear programmes.
