Ready to lead a team whose work directly safeguards pressure systems across some of the UK’s most complex nuclear projects?

- Pressure systems engineering, including manufacture, installation, structural integrity, and conformity assessment
- Working with regulators and supply chain organisations on pressure compliance
- Leading multi‑disciplinary teams and managing significant budgets (circa £20m per annum)
