Job Description

We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Structural Engineer at Sellafield working within the nuclear industry. 
 
Candidates can start with BPSS security clearance whilst higher level clearance is being undertaken. You should be British Citizens and passport holders, and not have worked outside the UK during the past 5 years. 
 
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.

This includes, partitions, blockwork, internal and external finishes, external and roof cladding and associated rainwater goods, internal and external doors (including key suiting a access control mechanisms), ironmongery, fire-stopping and overall fire strategy, and tie-in works to the existing SIXEP plant. 
 
Design process includes temporary works checking procedures and interaction with team members to ensure the quality of the on-site work produced. In addition, it may be necessary to attend meetings and make visits to off-site fabrication works during which time there will be dialogue with other discipline engineers, project engineers and site operations.
