Job Description

We're looking for a Senior Electrical, Control & Instrumentation Designer opportunity within the UK nuclear sector on a permanent basis, offering hybrid working from Warrington or Preston and long-term career progression on nationally significant programmes.

 This is a senior-level design role for someone who enjoys shaping high-quality EC&I solutions, guiding others, and seeing designs through the full lifecycle — from concept to in‑service support. You’ll sit at the heart of complex nuclear projects, influencing standards, mentoring designers, and helping deliver work that genuinely matters.

 You won’t be boxed into pure production. This role blends hands-on design, technical authority, and leadership, making it ideal for a designer ready to step up or someone already operating at senior level but wanting better balance and progression.
 
What you’ll be involved in:

Providing technical leadership and design governance across EC&I activities
Checking, approving and allocating work for a team of designers
Ensuring designs meet regulatory, safety and quality standards
Supporting client interactions and resolving technical or delivery challenges
Producing and reviewing EC&I design documentation across all design stages
Leading low-risk, multi-discipline work packages when required
Contributing ideas, innovation and continuous improvement across the design functionWhat they’re looking for:

Proven experience in a detailed EC&I design environment
Strong working knowledge of CAD tools and engineering drawing practice
Confidence reviewing and assuring the work of others
A collaborative mindset — comfortable working across disciplines
HNC / HND (or equivalent) in a relevant engineering disciplineImportant to know:

This is a permanent role, 37 hours per week
Hybrid working is supported - minimum of 3 days in the office per week
You must be eligible to achieve SC clearance
UK nuclear experience is highly relevant, but strong regulated industry backgrounds will be consideredWhat’s on offer:

Competitive salary and benefits package
Generous annual leave with options to buy or sell days
Enhanced pension and life assurance
Digital GP, health checks and wellbeing support
Paid professional fees and employee share scheme
Clear commitment to flexible working and inclusionThis is a role for someone who wants impact, visibility, and longevity — not just another project.
