Working within a consultancy environment offers the chance to experience a wide variety of diverse projects; you will be given the opportunity to develop yourself at each step of the project lifecycle, from winning work to helping solve complex technical problems, managing project delivery, and having the opportunity to work directly with clients.
The types of projects you could find yourself working on include:
- Applying systems engineering principles to capture requirements and developing verification and validation methods for component and/or system designs.
- Developing the design of new components and systems for use in nuclear plant.
- Developing and improving our client’s design, analysis and manufacturing methods and capabilities.
- Producing engineering substantiations for new and in-service nuclear components and systems.

You will have excellent communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team, often alongside the client.
A lot of our work comes from repeat business and hence you will be seeking to build enduring working relationships with key clients. This means you will be spending some time on clients' sites, which is a great opportunity to get hands on experience with plant and to see first-hand the realisation of complex nuclear components. This will greatly enhance your professional development opportunities within your chosen engineering disciplines.
