Full-Time Blast & Fire Structural Analysis Engineer – Nuclear

• Structural Integrity & Analysis: Perform detailed structural assessments under blast, fire, and seismic loading conditions.
• Conduct hand calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate stress, strain, and deformation behaviours.
• Develop and validate calculation templates, demonstrating sound engineering judgement.
• Assess equipment response and load paths.
• Technical Modelling & Tools:Utilise advanced analysis tools including Mathcad (essential) and LS-DYNA (advantageous) for complex dynamic simulations.
• Support CFD-based studies relating to flow-induced and acoustic-induced vibration where applicable.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate analytical outcomes into broader engineering design and verification processes.
• Safety, Verification & Compliance:Contribute to structural safety justifications in line with UK regulatory requirements.
• Apply principles of fire and blast resilience, seismic load response, and progressive collapse prevention.
• Produce and present technical reports and substantiation documents.

• PhD or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Structural, or Aerospace Engineering (or related field).
• Proven experience in fire and blast structural analysis or seismic response assessment.
• Strong capability in FEA and hand calculations for load and stress verification.
• Expertise in Mathcad (essential) and familiarity with LS-DYNA, ABAQUS, or similar software.
• Working knowledge of UK or MOD design standards and nuclear/defence regulatory frameworks.

• Experience with flow-induced or acoustic-induced vibration (CFD knowledge beneficial).
• Familiarity with equipment qualification and shock/vibration testing.
• Exposure to export-controlled projects (DOE 810) — candidates without restrictions preferred.
