For more than 75 years, Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) has supported the UK Government’s nuclear defence strategy and the Continuous at Sea Deterrent. They use nuclear know-how and technical expertise to provide innovative solutions that support the UK’s counter terrorism and nuclear threat reduction activities. Like Bechtel, they create and maintain a safe operating culture where safety is front and centre of everything they do.

From building state-of-the-art facilities, to supporting Production, Science, Engineering and Technology programmes, the management of Environment, Safety, Health and Wellbeing underpins all activities at AWE.

Bechtel is collaborating with AWE as an integrated team to deliver the preliminary design for the facilities within the Future Materials Campus. Since 2023, Bechtel has provided delivery and technical support, ensuring the project is completed on schedule and within budget.

This position is for a Mechanical Engineer for Building and Services (B&S) who will work a multi-year contract on a United Kingdom (UK) nuclear infrastructure programme for which Bechtel are providing the Project Management and Engineering services. This project is at the conceptual design phases driving a programme involving a multi-billion-pound investment in nuclear and non-nuclear facilities.

The Mechanical Engineer (B&S) will be a proactive and driven individual who will support the Engineering Managers via the B&S Project Engineer as the Mechanical representative for engineering activities. You will assist in the engineering design efforts, which may include the delivery of technical documents, execution of engineering schedule activities, quality checks, and overall project delivery. You will be involved in preparing technical reports, studies, design, calculations using engineering software and supporting systems, and procurement documentation.

You will participate in design reviews, and assure comments are addressed by facilitating their resolution to the satisfaction of the reviewers for the delivery of approved products. In addition, you will oversee the training of the Mechanical apprentice, and work process execution in a technically adequate manner and in accordance with company, contract, and industry codes and standards.
