What You'll Be Doing

As an Equipment Engineer, you'll be at the heart of mechanical design studies, ensuring that the equipment and systems meet the rigorous demands of nuclear construction. You'll work closely with back office design teams to clarify deliverables, analyse mechanical stresses, and propose modifications where needed to meet design criteria.


You'll play a key role in resolving technical issues during construction, integrating stakeholder feedback, and validating design feasibility through technical analysis and calculations. Your work will directly impact the safety, efficiency, and success of the HPC and SZC projects.


In time, you may also take on coordination responsibilities for valve-related activities, interfacing with a wide range of stakeholders. Your ability to lead technical discussions, maintain quality assurance standards, and collaborate within a multidisciplinary team will be essential to delivering high-quality engineering outcomes.

Who You Are

You've a background in mechanical engineering or a related scientific discipline. You're confident working with technical documentation, have strong organisational and communication skills, and are fluent in English.


Ideally, you'll have experience with RCCM code, 2D/3D design tools, and working in multicultural environments. Familiarity with the HPC project or similar EPR initiatives is a plus, as is the ability to manage complex technical interfaces and prioritise effectively under pressure.


You're someone who thrives in a collaborative setting, can think strategically, and is comfortable leading discussions and producing well-structured technical documents. If you're proactive, detail-oriented, and ready to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to hear from you.
