LEV DESIGN ENGINEER Nuclear Projects | UK | Permanent
Ventilation. But make it nuclear.
We're looking for an experienced LEV Design Engineer to join a specialist engineering business delivering complex projects across the UK nuclear sector.
This is an opportunity to work on technically demanding, safety-critical projects where your designs genuinely matter — and where "that'll probably do" isn't an acceptable engineering philosophy.
🛠️ What you'll be doing
You'll be responsible for designing and developing Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems across major nuclear projects, including:
Designing LEV and specialist ventilation systems
Producing calculations, specifications and technical reports
Designing extraction hoods, ductwork, fans and filtration systems
Undertaking airflow and pressure-drop calculations
Developing designs from concept through detailed design and delivery
Working alongside mechanical, electrical, process and structural engineers
Supporting commissioning, testing and troubleshooting
Participating in design reviews and technical meetings
Ensuring designs comply with relevant standards, legislation and client requirements
Supporting safety-critical engineering assessments ☢️ Why nuclear?
Because ordinary ventilation projects weren't challenging enough.
You'll be working on major nuclear infrastructure and highly regulated environments, tackling complex engineering problems where reliability, safety and attention to detail are absolutely critical.
Your designs could contribute to projects involving specialist ventilation, hazardous environments, containment and complex industrial systems.
👷 What we're looking for
We're looking for an engineer with:
Proven LEV design experience
Mechanical engineering background
Strong knowledge of ventilation and extraction systems
Experience with ductwork, fans, filtration and airflow calculations
Ability to produce engineering calculations and technical documentation
Understanding of COSHH and LEV principles
Experience working within nuclear, industrial, pharmaceutical, chemical, defence or another regulated environment
Strong multidisciplinary engineering skills P601/P602 or other recognised LEV qualifications would be highly desirable.
Nuclear experience is advantageous, but we're happy to consider engineers from other safety-critical or highly regulated sectors.
🚀 What's on offer?
Major UK nuclear projects
Highly technical and varied engineering work
Long-term career opportunities
Specialist LEV and ventilation experience
Hybrid/flexible working
Competitive salary and benefits
Opportunity to work within a growing specialist engineering team
Excellent exposure to some of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects 🔥 Sound like you?
If you're an LEV Design Engineer who wants to move beyond standard commercial ventilation and get involved in genuinely complex engineering projects, this could be the move.
