In the UK we deliver iconic projects that connect people, protect the environment and meet emission reduction targets. Job Description
We are looking for a full‑time Principal Mechanical Engineer to join our Civil & Structural design team working on Nuclear New Build projects, specifically focusing on Nuclear Island buildings of Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C and similar projects. The successful candidate will lead structural mechanics design activities on major nuclear projects, performing advanced finite element analysis, structural assessments and design work for reinforced concrete and steel structures under seismic, blast and impact loads. Key Responsibilities
Lead and manage structural mechanics design activities, ensuring designs meet quality standards and comply with codes, standards and CDM regulations. Perform advanced finite element analysis on RC and steel structures, addressing seismic, impact, blast and other load cases. Develop, review and validate detailed design documents, specifications and calculation reports. Utilise FEM software such as Code‑Aster, Ansys, LS‑Dyna and others. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and international research institutes to integrate complex technical solutions. Provide technical guidance and mentorship to a team of engineers and technical staff. Liaise with clients to provide technical updates, reports and build professional relationships. Participate in project management duties, monitoring budgets, schedules and ensuring deliverables meet quality standards. Lead technical seminars and training sessions on advanced FEA calculation to enhance team capabilities. Contribute to R&D activities to advance design methodologies and tools within the nuclear sector. Serve as the interface lead for the mechanical structures of pools and liners within Nuclear Island buildings. Implement rigorous quality control processes, promote a “right first time” culture. Uphold and promote nuclear safety culture and ensure adherence to safety protocols. Ensure the team follows ISO 19443 requirements for a robust quality management system. Ensure project milestones and deadlines are met and maintain responsiveness to project needs. Collaborate with the contract team to provide accurate cost and schedule assessments. Ensure all designs comply with nuclear industry standards and regulations, including ISO 19443, ETC‑C, Eurocode and ONR regulations. Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field. Significant experience in structural mechanics design for nuclear projects. Expertise in advanced FEA using Code‑Aster, Ansys, LS‑Dyna and other software. Experience with BIM/CAD tools such as Tekla Structure, HyperMesh and AutoCAD. Proven experience in leading teams and managing complex projects. Strong understanding of nuclear industry standards and regulations. Excellent communication, problem‑solving and client liaison skills. Active involvement in professional associations and international conferences. Chartership status or actively working towards it. Professional Development
As a Principal Mechanical Engineer at Egis, you will benefit from mentoring and guidance provided by technical experts in the nuclear field, forming an integral part of your growth plan within the nuclear industry. Work Pattern
Hybrid working pattern: presence in central Bristol office 3 days per week, 2 days remote. Security Clearance
Basic Security Clearance (BPSS) required. Equal Opportunities
Egis is an Equal Opportunities employer and welcomes candidates from all backgrounds. We value each and every contribution to build our inclusive culture.
