Mechanical Engineer - Replication and Integration

This hybrid role is based in Bridgwater and is suited to candidates living within commuting distance of the area or willing to relocate. The role supports configuration alignment and engineering integration across two major nuclear programmes. Your future team ensures lessons learned from established nuclear projects are captured and applied to replication activities, and focuses on strengthening configuration management and engineering coordination across Mechanical, Piping and HVAC systems. Coordinate Mechanical, Piping and HVAC work packages within configuration management systems Develop reference configuration datasets supporting replication across nuclear programmes Analyse engineering datasets to identify improvements in configuration processes

• Support development of engineering sequences required for replication activities
Develop and maintain configuration management standards, procedures and guidance Resolve installation issues including dimensional discrepancies and equipment clashes Collaborate with multidisciplinary stakeholders to ensure technical alignment across projects Support tracking and reporting of engineering activities across Mechanical, Piping and HVAC scopes

Nuclear experience is valuable, particularly from new build, decommissioning or defence programmes. Engineers from other highly regulated sectors such as major energy infrastructure may also bring transferable experience in configuration control and complex engineering delivery. We also recognise that the perfect candidate rarely exists. If you feel you meet around 80% of the criteria and are motivated to develop further, we would strongly encourage you to apply. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline Experience within nuclear, defence or highly regulated engineering environments Strong understanding of configuration management and engineering design control Experience working within complex mechanical systems on major infrastructure programmes Ability to analyse engineering datasets and identify improvement opportunities Experience managing engineering documentation and configuration baselines Understanding of installation, commissioning and engineering transition phases
