Are you a seismic qualification engineer interested in applying your experience to new structural challenges?

The Asset Integrity - Built Environment Group is looking for an experienced seismic qualification engineer to join our respected and thriving specialist team. This is an exciting time to come on board, with a range of opportunities to deliver your expertise and contribute to a diverse portfolio of projects. We're a growing team experiencing high demand for our capabilities. We’re looking for motivated individuals ready to take the next step working to gain Seismic Qualification User Group (SQUG) accreditation and apply their experience to new challenges;

those who are driven to make a difference in highly regulated, safety-critical industries. We offer a unique opportunity to work across industries and sectors on some of the UK’s most complex infrastructure programmes. We endeavour to maintain a varied pipeline of opportunities both in nature and size of projects, and to be at the forefront of technology developments. If you're a technically capable, team player, and motivated by challenging projects, we would welcome your application.

The Built Environment group operates to assure the safety of structures and assets subject to conventional and extreme hazards. Our integrated team establishes load conditions, structural responses, design solutions, testing programmes, substantiations and assurance against a variety of hazards. While our projects are challenging, the team promotes a collaborative and supportive environment, where knowledge is shared openly. We are always looking to improve, both technically and professionally.

Asset Integrity has a breadth of capability ranging from physical testing to design, research and advanced analysis. The purpose of the area is to support clients in understanding the life, degradation, integrity and performance of components, systems and assets from concept design to decommissioning. Your colleagues will have a wide range of backgrounds from fundamental materials science, strength of materials research, stress engineering, testing and measurement, field-based work and plant/facilities management and assessment.

Therefore, if working across engineering disciplines to solve complex problems appeals to you, you would be a great fit.

You’ll become part of a highly respected team, who work across a wide range of projects and markets, including:

• Nuclear energy (new build, operational fleet and decommissioning)
• Nuclear defence (infrastructure design, substantiation and assurance)
• Renewables (e.g., onshore solar, offshore wind)
• Process industries (e.g., chemical, hydrogen production)
• Transport (e.g., rail, marine)

Your role will vary depending on skills and experience, but our current investment focusses on strengthening our seismic analysis and qualification capability.

The team’s currently focusses on:

• Structural verification and code assessments (e.g., Eurocode, ASCE, AISC), via software or hand calculations
• Hazard assessment (e.g. Seismic, blast, and fire performance modelling) and validation studies
• Concept development and feasibility analysis
• Civil/mechanical interface definition and integration
• Beyond-code assessments and safety case development
• Structural inspections and regulatory compliance
• Life-extension studies, including degradation mechanism analysis

We’re looking for engineers who want to go beyond technical analysis — individuals able to deliver consultancy, who can:

• Lead and shape projects, including managing projects from scoping to delivery
• Engage directly with clients to define project needs and opportunities, and develop long-term relationships
• Contribute to the direction and development of our…
