Engineer - Civil and Structural

Role: Engineer – Civil & Structural Location: Hybrid working with one of the following locations as primary:  Derby, Warrington or Manchester Our Mission Our mission is to deliver clean, affordable energy for all. Our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) provides a British solution to a global energy challenge. We are in pole position to become a world leader in SMRs and the UK’s premier green export technology. The Team The Civil & Structural team plays a central role in the development of the RR SMR design, supporting the analysis, design, substantiation, and integration of structures across the plant. This includes safety-classified structures within the Reactor Island as well as wider generic design scope such as infrastructure, conventional and balance-of-plant structures, and interfaces with site-wide civil works. Working across complex, highly regulated engineering challenges, the team applies advanced design and analytical methods to ensure structural integrity, constructability, safety, and compliance at every stage of the programme. The Role In this context, we are looking for an Engineer – Civil & Structural to report to a Civil & Structural Team Leader. Supporting Senior Engineers and Analysts, you will contribute to the delivery of defined engineering packages across the analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures, helping to develop robust design solutions and support the safety case, generic design development, and site-specific adaptation of plant structures and associated infrastructure. This role offers the opportunity to work within a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, contributing to a nationally significant infrastructure programme at a pivotal stage of design and development, with exposure to both generic plant design and the wider civil works needed to support deployment on future sites. What We’ll Need You to Do We’ll need you to: Supporting the delivery of civil and structural engineering packages, contributing to the analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures across the Reactor Island, wider plant areas, and associated infrastructure within defined scopes of work Assisting in the development, checking, and interpretation of structural analysis (including finite element modelling where applicable) to support design decisions, technical justification, and the maturation of generic design solutions Contributing to the preparation of design documentation and safety case inputs, ensuring outputs are clear, traceable, and aligned with programme, licensing, and site deployment requirements Applying established governance, design control, and quality assurance processes to ensure compliance with internal standards, relevant codes, and regulatory expectations Working closely with multidisciplinary teams to coordinate interfaces with systems, components, architecture, layout, geotechnics, construction, and other engineering disciplines across the…
