Mechanical Design Engineer – Nuclear & Engineered Systems

Clearance: UK Nationals Only (due to site access requirements)

Are you a Mechanical Design Engineer who loves solving complex engineering problems, working on safety‑critical systems, and seeing your designs come to life in real‑world applications? This is your chance to join a high‑performing engineering team working on cutting‑edge nuclear plant equipment and engineered solutions that genuinely make an impact.

We’re growing, we’re investing, and we’re looking for an engineer who wants to be part of something meaningful.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll play a key role in delivering robust, compliant mechanical designs across a range of nuclear and industrial projects. Expect variety, challenge, and the chance to work across the full engineering lifecycle.

You will:

* Create high‑quality 3D models (Inventor/SolidWorks) and 2D manufacturing drawings (AutoCAD)

* Produce and verify design calculations

* Develop solutions from client specifications, national standards, and regulatory requirements

* Collaborate closely with Projects, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain

* Support design reviews, approvals, and continuous improvement initiatives

* Contribute to project delivery, ensuring designs meet cost, quality, and safety targets

* Build deep product knowledge across the full lifecycle

This is a role where your engineering judgement matters — and where your ideas will be heard.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone who combines technical capability with curiosity, ownership, and a drive for excellence.

You’ll need:

* A degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar

* Strong 3D/2D CAD skills (Inventor, SolidWorks, AutoCAD)

* Solid understanding of mechanical design principles

* Experience with pressure systems, pumps, pipework, or packaged systems (advantageous)

* Logical, analytical problem‑solving skills

* Ability to work effectively within a multi‑disciplinary team

* A commitment to safety, quality, and continuous learning

* UK nationality (due to secure site access requirements)

Why Join Us?

This isn’t just another design role. You’ll be part of a team that:

* Works on high‑integrity, safety‑critical systems with real‑world impact

* Offers genuine technical variety — no two projects are the same

* Encourages innovation, continuous improvement, and professional development

* Values collaboration, authenticity, and high engineering standards

* Provides opportunities to visit customer sites and see your designs in action

If you want to grow your expertise in nuclear, engineered systems, or pressure‑related design this is the place to do it.
