What will you get?

About the opportunities
At Jacobs, our Decommissioning & Regeneration Solutions business brings decades of experience to decommissioning and clean-up, drawn from our work at the world’s most challenging nuclear sites. Safety case management, environmental and radiological consultancy, and health physics support go hand in hand with our core engineering capabilities, ensuring an unrelenting safety ethos. We apply strategies to minimize waste volumes requiring final disposal and we implement innovative decommissioning and decontamination processes for U.K. clients including Sellafield Ltd., Magnox Ltd and Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd.
As a graduate Civil/Structural Engineer you will join a highly skilled team delivering engineering solutions to meet the requirements of our Nuclear Power, Decommissioning and Defence clients. Each of our projects are unique and engineered to meet exacting standards of nuclear safety and integrity. This often requires designing structures to withstand extreme events including earthquakes, fire, explosion and impact. We cannot always rely on conventional codes and standards, and have to look deeper into structural behaviour, considering for example ultimate failure mechanisms, ductility, dynamic response and soil structure interaction. We work things out as a team, considering first principles, researching alternative methodologies, using complex numerical analysis, undertaking rigorous validation and verification, challenging assumptions, thinking outside the box, and constantly learning.
Our industry and our culture demand we deliver to the highest standards of quality and technical excellence. Everything we do has to be fully evidenced and justified, and is often subject to thorough independent review, and scrutiny by the defence and nuclear safety Regulators. As a result, this is one of the most varied and challenging roles you can take on as a civil or structural engineer. Working through the whole project lifecycle, you will have the opportunity to turn your theoretical knowledge into practical solutions for our clients, delivering on critical projects in Nuclear Power, Defence, Decommissioning, as well as for industry leading new technologies supporting the drive towards net zero.
We have opportunities available in Warrington offices.

Be working towards a relevant Degree or Masters level qualification such as Civil or Structural Engineering
A flexible self-starter who is keen to drive your career forward.
