Blast & Fire Structural Analysis Engineer - Nuclear
ZipRecruiter, Derby, Kansas, United States, 67037
Overview
ALTEN UK is seeking a
Blast & Fire Structural Analysis Engineer
to support advanced mechanical and structural integrity assessments on high-consequence projects within the
nuclear sector . You'll apply your expertise in
fire, blast, and seismic analysis
to ensure that critical systems and structures meet the most demanding performance and safety standards. As a
Blast & Fire Structural Analysis Engineer , you will join a team in Derby (remote) to support our activities within the Nuclear Sector. Responsibilities
Structural Integrity & Analysis
Perform detailed structural assessments under
blast, fire, and seismic loading conditions , ensuring compliance with safety and performance requirements. Conduct
hand calculations
and
finite element analysis (FEA)
to evaluate stress, strain, and deformation behaviours. Develop and validate
calculation templates from scratch , demonstrating sound
engineering judgement
where standards are limited (e.g. MOD blast criteria). Assess
equipment response and load paths , ensuring robust and reliable structural performance.
Technical Modelling & Tools
Utilise advanced analysis tools including
Mathcad
(essential) and
LS-DYNA
(advantageous) for complex dynamic simulations. Support
CFD-based studies
relating to
flow-induced
and
acoustic-induced vibration
where applicable. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate analytical outcomes into broader engineering design and verification processes.
Safety, Verification & Compliance
Contribute to structural safety justifications in line with
UK regulatory requirements
and defence/nuclear industry standards. Apply principles of
fire and blast resilience ,
seismic load response , and
progressive collapse prevention . Produce and present
technical reports
and
substantiation documents
to clients, regulators, and internal design authorities.
You are...
Passionate about engineering Result-oriented Proactive Qualifications
Experience, skills and qualifications required: PhD or Master's degree
