Job Description

Role Summary:

Are you an experienced EC&I engineer looking to work on technically complex and safety-critical systems?


We're seeking a Senior EC&I Engineer to lead and support the delivery of electrical, control, and instrumentation systems across a range of major projects in the nuclear sector. With a focus on mechanical handling equipment, cranes, and bespoke automation systems, this role offers a chance to take ownership of challenging design and delivery work in highly regulated environments.

What You Will Be Doing:

Provide expert technical input into the design, specification, and implementation of EC&I systems--particularly those involving mechanical handling equipment, overhead cranes, and bespoke lifting solutions.

Lead and support EC&I aspects of complex projects across the full lifecycle--from concept and front-end design through to commissioning and closeout. Apply your working knowledge of functional safety, control systems architecture, instrumentation selection, and compliance with relevant standards and regulations (e.g., BS EN 61508, BS EN 60204).

Collaborate with mechanical and structural engineers to ensure full integration of EC&I systems with physical handling equipment.

Conduct site surveys, risk assessments, and technical reviews to inform project development and ensure operability and maintainability of delivered systems.

Formal Qualifications or Training:

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical, Control, Instrumentation Engineering or a related discipline--or equivalent experience.

Significant experience in delivering EC&I engineering services in a regulated industry, ideally within nuclear, defence, or similar complex environments.

Proven experience with mechanical handling systems, cranes, hoists, and associated safety and control systems.
