What you’ll be doing:

We are recruiting Civil/Structural graduates to our team based in Glasgow which specialises in solving the most complex and technically demanding structural engineering problems for the nuclear industry.

Each project is unique, but typically involves consideration of dynamic load effects due to extreme hazards, including seismic, blast, and impact. We have to look beyond code checks to get a deeper insight into structural response and failure mechanisms, considering ductility, nonlinear buckling, and soil structure interaction. We work things out as a team, starting from first principles, researching methodologies, challenging assumptions, thinking outside the box, and constantly learning.
