Do you have proven Structural Engineering & Design experience?
Do you thrive in a multidisciplinary environment where your Structural Engineering expertise directly shapes nuclear and industrial innovation?
Are you looking for a new assignment with a company that values technical leadership, real responsibility, and meaningful impact?
The Opportunity

There are multiple opportunities available for highly experienced Senior Structural Engineers to support a major nuclear project. The successful candidates could be based in Warrington, working 40 hours per week, with hybrid options available. Rate will be dependent on experience due to the potential for candidates of different levels of seniority to apply.

The roles will support the Structural Engineering Capability team in all aspects of Structural Design from concept to delivery. Successful candidates will preferably have existing knowledge and experience in nuclear standards and processes.

Your duties and responsibilities will be:

Undertaking structural design for LSS1 as directed by the Lead Structural Engineer. This will include design of the portal frame, crane support steelwork, secondary steelwork, reinforced concrete raft, walls and slabs.
Working with the structural designers to ensure the design is translated into the 3D model and that 2D AutoCAD, GA and detail drawings are produced from the model as the design progresses through Preliminary and Detailed Design.
Developing material and workmanship specifications for the structural elements of the building as the design progresses into Detailed Design
Working with other engineering disciplines and the Construction team to ensure the overall design for the Plant is co-ordinated, meets the functional requirements and can be constructed safely and efficiently.
Fulfilling the Designer role under the CDM Regulations.

You will have the following qualifications & experience:
 
A civil /structural engineering degree and ideally be a Chartered Engineer.
Experience in structural steel and reinforced concrete design to Eurocodes, ideally including crane loading.
Able to undertake design independently, act as a checker and guide others less experienced such as graduates.
Experienced in using structural analysis / design software – ideally Robot. Familiar with use of 3D models (Revit) and AutoCAD for 2D.
Working knowledge of CDM.
Adaptability and flexibility will be useful in the early stages of the project restart as the team will be small.
Comfortable working in multi-disciplinary teams.
It’s great if you also have the following:
 
Some experience of reinforcement detailed design and steelwork connection design would be an advantage.
Ideally have some nuclear experience but if not, in a similar industrial field.
The setting for the role
The role will be mainly office based with trips to site if required. A safety induction will be provided.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Robotics Jobs Hub

Robotics is reshaping industries—manufacturing, health care, agriculture, logistics, and beyond. From industrial robots assembling vehicles to surgical robots assisting complex procedures, and from drone deliveries to autonomous inspection systems, the boundaries of what robots can achieve are expanding daily. With rising demand for automation, productivity, and intelligent systems, organisations both public and private are investing heavily in robotics technologies. This surge in adoption has triggered increased demand for professionals skilled in robotics engineering, AI-enabled control systems, hardware design, and integration. The United Kingdom possesses the essential components to become a global robotics jobs hub: world-class research institutions, innovative robotics firms, strong industrial bases, and supportive policy frameworks. This article explores why the UK is well-positioned, where demand is growing, the career paths emerging, and what must occur to fully establish robotics as a powerhouse in UK employment.
