About the role

Hear from the Hiring Manager:

“The Engineering team is made up of a group of highly skilled and multi-disciplined Engineers. This is an excellent opportunity for a driven, innovative and flexible engineer to join the core engineering team at Trawsfynydd Site. Applications will be welcomed from both experienced Safety Case Engineers and more inexperienced engineers looking for an exciting development opportunity in the nuclear industry.

The purpose of this role is to primarily to deliver nuclear safety case related work and associated documentation in support of operational and compliance activities at the Site. The role will also require the postholder to provide technical support to several functions and projects, in addition to working closely with the Site’s Project and System Engineering teams in support of their work streams.

This will be a hugely varied and rewarding role, located at a Site in a beautiful part of North Wales, providing interesting and technically challenging work for experienced safety case professionals or providing those more inexperienced engineers, a perfect starting point for a long career in the nuclear industry!

We also welcome applications from inexperienced engineers looking to develop and therefore may not meet all the essential criteria for the role. In these circumstances there may be a lower grade offered for a development opportunity. The successful candidate would be considered on a case by case basis and supported with a PDP (Personal Development Plan) and appropriate training and mentoring to enable a clear path for progression into the role.”
