Design & Engineering Lead

Today, Assystem is among the top three independent nuclear engineering firms worldwide. With over 60 years of experience in highly regulated sectors, the group supports public and industrial stakeholders in the execution of complex and strategic infrastructure projects, subject to high safety and security requirements.

Assystem mobilizes 8,000 experts in 13 countries and intervenes across the entire project lifecycle, in engineering, project management and digital solutions.

This is an exciting opportunity to support a major UK Defence and nuclear programme
, delivering strategically important infrastructure that supports the Armed Forces and wider UK Defence capabilities.

The programme involves significant investment in complex infrastructure
, supporting both current operations and the development of future capability.

Working within a highly regulated environment, the programme is responsible for the planning, development and delivery of major infrastructure requirements.

Key areas include:

• Major capital programme and project delivery
• Estate and infrastructure services
• Strategic estate and asset management
• Planning and development of future infrastructure requirements
• Supply chain and stakeholder management
• Delivery across complex Defence and nuclear environments

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to large-scale, nationally significant infrastructure programmes
, supporting critical UK Defence capabilities and long-term investment in the Defence estate.

You’ll provide engineering leadership, technical challenge and assurance across complex programmes, helping ensure engineering solutions meet the required standards and are supported by robust technical evidence.

• Lead engineering governance, standards and technical assurance
• Review designs, specifications and technical submissions
• Assess design maturity, technical risk and engineering evidence
• Oversee requirements, configuration control and technical change
• Work closely with programme teams, customers and supply chain partners
• Identify and elevate technical risks, issues and deviations
• Support the development of engineering capability, SMEs and SQEP
• Drive continuous improvement and share engineering best practice

This is a technical leadership and assurance role rather than a programme delivery position
, offering the opportunity to influence engineering standards and quality across major Defence and nuclear infrastructure programmes.
