Senior Control & Instrumentation Engineer (Multiple Locations)

We are currently recruiting for a Senior C&I Engineer to join our Nuclear Power and Engineering Technical Services (NPETS) business. NPETS is entering an exciting phase of opportunity by supporting our key client's UK nuclear fleet through a business transformation, and by supporting many small and advanced modular reactor developers to develop their designs. Our nuclear work is varied, covering Concept Development, New Build, Generation, Life Extension, and Defueling, and our capabilities are in demand across the nuclear sector.

It's not something you see very often on TV these days, but figuratively, it is a very useful skill, one of which is vital if your goal is to keep nuclear power stations operating safely, contributing to the UK's Net Zero carbon target, or to help prepare them for decommissioning. The UK's five operating stations deliver 16% of the UK's power, and it takes a large team delivering 100's of projects to enable these stations to continue generating as well as defuel the three stations that have ceased operation - and that's a lot of plates.
