Structural Engineer

New Job Opportunity - Senior Structural Engineer - Initially 12 Months Contract

Location: SCP project in Cumbria

Contract Length: Initially 12 Months

IR35 Status: Inside IR35

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 at SCP we 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 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. Knowledge of Eurocodes and flexibility to adapt to these codes is required. Design 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 architectural package includes typical factory fit out elements such as partitions, blockwork, finishes, cladding, rainwater goods, doors, fire stopping and overall fire strategy, with tie ins to the existing SIXEP plant. Design processes include temporary works checking and interaction with team members to ensure the quality of on site work. Attendance at meetings and off site fabrication visits may be required.

Experience

• 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
• Ongoing design reviews to support manufacture, including specific SDDRs and MDDRs as appropriate
• Package management for specific issues not captured within the general programme
• Continual assurance of CDM application and recording
• Reviewing, justifying and preparing design changes deemed necessary to satisfy the CSA design case

As part of putting people first, we strive to be an equal opportunities employer and we are always looking to increase the diversity of our workforce, working closely with our clients to ensure everyone is included.
