Job Description
The team embodies the Advanced Technology nature of D&AT, representing specialist areas that include structural dynamics, seismic analysis, blast and impact design, and thermal and fluid mechanics. Focusing on advanced computer-based structural and dynamic analysis using Finite Element Analysis software, data analysis, coding, and scripting, the team seeks to efficiently predict the behavior of civil, structural, and mechanical hardware. Recent projects have centered in the Defence and Nuclear markets, including Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C Nuclear New build, Class 1 Nuclear structures on Devonport, AWE and HMNB Clyde, and Renewables (wind energy). This role is principally based in our Epsom office but offers opportunities to work at our own and client locations elsewhere in the UK and overseas. You will work on a range of projects from those of strategic national importance such as Hinkley Point C, HS2, and multiple defence projects, to development projects like South Teesworks Master-planning and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

* Maintain and promote high personal standards in Environment, Safety, Health, Security, and Quality.
Requirements:
* Strong academic background with a relevant Honours degree or equivalent.
* Chartered Engineer Status (e.g., MICE, MIStructE, or MIMechE).
* Experience in the use of computer modelling packages such as finite element analysis (e.g., Abaqus and Ansys), finite difference analysis, or finite volume fluid dynamics packages.
* Excellent communication and presentation skills.
* A flexible attitude to both the type of work undertaken and the level of responsibility given.
Desirable:
* Familiarity with working to design codes, industry standards, and performance-based design approaches appropriate for a safety-critical industry.
