Due to the continued growth and expansion of our Nuclear Team in our Warrington office we are looking to increase our technical workforce and are seeking to recruit a Graduate Civil-Structural Engineer from July to Sept 27.

At AECOM, our Nuclear Structures team provide multi-disciplinary consultancy to the nuclear industry in both the nuclear new build and decommissioning sectors.

In the new build sector, we are providing engineering support to the Developers of the UK's fleet of new nuclear power stations. In the Decommissioning Sector, which requires considerable new build to enable decommissioning, AECOM provides support to the entire Nuclear Estate, including multidisciplinary design support at Sellafield; early stage development of the Deep Geological Repository; design and development of waste storage and disposal facilities;

and multidisciplinary design support to defence projects.

An example project is Sellafield Pile 1 Diffuser Demolition where we were part of the consortium with other companies providing the CE&I, Mechanical and Process Design.

The project scope was to demolish the Diffuser, a 1450 tonne Reinforced Concrete box section, at the top of the 110m high ventilation stack, located in the heart of a congested nuclear facility.

AECOM played a significant role as the Lead Designer responsible for developing a safe demolition strategy for this contaminated structure, demonstrating stability at all stages and designing the associated civil and structural works, working with mechanical, electrical and process engineers, including delivery of the seismic and extreme wind load design for the foundations and structural supports to a 150m high tower crane, the tallest ever on the Sellafield site.

The project challenged the Nuclear Industry's traditional approach for labour intensive, low risk means of demolition, making use of the tower crane to cut and lift large blocks, arguing that the short-term increase in risk would lead to a quicker permanent decrease. This unique demolition is currently on-going and will be a very visible demonstration of the work being done to make Sellafield a safer place.

Our Nuclear Civil-Structural Graduates are engaged in teams and work with experienced engineers who guide and mentor them during their time y work on live projects where their role will include:

• Preparing structural element designs in a variety of materials, mainly steel and concrete
• Undertaking analysis of structures
• Preparation of design documentation such as basis of design, design method statements, specifications
• Developing an understanding of highly regulated industries
• Developing an understanding of Safety Cases and the supporting documentation
• Developing an understanding of risk and…
