In the UK, we have a key focus in the Nuclear sector, contributing to ground breaking projects, such as Hinkley Point C (HPC).

We are currently seeking Civil Engineers to support a major nuclear new build programme, contributing to the development, review and update of civil engineering technical documentation across large-scale infrastructure and nuclear facilities. This role offers the opportunity to work on nationally significant projects focused on civil structures, construction methodologies, technical specifications, design justification and engineering compliance within a highly regulated environment.

• Review and assess civil engineering technical specifications, design documentation and engineering deliverables.
• Carry out civil engineering gap analysis to identify project-specific updates and technical changes.
• Update and develop civil engineering technical documentation, specifications and construction requirements.
• Support the replication and adaptation of civil engineering designs for nuclear new build infrastructure projects.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to gather technical information and ensure design consistency.
• Review civil structures, geotechnical information and construction methodologies against project requirements.
• Participate in technical workshops, engineering reviews and stakeholder meetings to support project delivery.
• Ensure engineering documentation complies with relevant industry standards, health and safety legislation and project quality requirements.

This position offers the opportunity to contribute to some of the UK's most significant infrastructure and nuclear new build developments. You will work within a collaborative engineering environment where technical quality, engineering excellence and knowledge sharing are central to successful project delivery.

• Degree qualified in Civil Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Experience working within civil engineering, civil structures, infrastructure engineering or construction engineering environments.
• Knowledge of civil engineering design processes, engineering specifications and technical documentation.
• Understanding of construction methods, civil works, reinforced concrete structures or infrastructure projects.
• Experience reviewing engineering deliverables, technical reports, engineering drawings and design documentation.
• Knowledge of relevant construction standards, engineering standards and health and safety legislation.
• Familiarity with geotechnical engineering, soil investigations or foundation engineering would be advantageous.
• Experience with in nuclear, highly regulated, energy, infrastructure, transportation or defence projects would be advantageous.
• Experience supporting design reviews, engineering assessments, design verification or engineering assurance activities would be beneficial.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and engineering collaboration tools.
• Reside locally to Bristol or be prepared to relocate, as this permanent role does not include travel expense coverage.

Please note that visa sponsorship is not guaranteed and is assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on role criticality and project needs. Many of our UK projects require high-level security clearance, meaning we can often only consider candidates with an existing, indefinite right to work in the UK. Exceptionally, we may consider visa sponsorship for applicants with niche experience aligned to our core work (e.g. EPR/nuclear new build).
