Engineer - Applied Science

Maths, Physics, Software, Mechanical.

About us

Thornton Tomasetti applies engineering and scientific principles to solve the world’s challenges. An independent organisation of creative thinkers and innovative doers collaborating from offices worldwide, our mission is to bring our clients' ideas to life and, in the process, lay the groundwork for a better, more resilient future. We provide support and opportunities to our employees to achieve their full potential and cultivate a rewarding career.

Our Applied Science practice leverages a unique combination of technologies and expertise to engineer practical solutions to problems of national and international importance. We apply expertise in solid and fluid dynamics, materials science, acoustics, risk assessments and computational simulation methods to solve complex problems.

We perform research, mathematical modelling, software development and design to manage risks to life safety in military platforms and installations, ships and submarines, critical infrastructure, tall buildings, public facilities, industrial and petrochemical plants and automotive and airborne vehicles.

Military, government, corporate and academic clients’ value the validation of Applied Science’s software and the critical insights gained from correlating analysis with testing. 

The Role

We have opportunities for Engineers to join our Applied Science Practice. These positions will work on solutions to problems of national and international importance. We are interested in Naval Architects and Mechanical Engineer CAD operators and candidates with any experience in FEA or with a willingness to develop those skills.

This role would suit candidates with up to 3 years of experience but we are also interested to hear from junior engineers who have completed an Apprenticeship, HND or similar qualification.

"I joined TT as an Engineer within the Modelling and Simulation team. I thoroughly enjoy the work I get to carry out day to day performing non-linear dynamic simulations on naval structures. There is lots of variation in the projects which you get to be involved in and exciting opportunities such as going to live trials of simulations which you have worked on."
