Why Join the Community of Switchers?

You’ll be joining one of the top three nuclear engineering companies in the world. Our mission-led approach places you at the heart of the energy transition. At Assystem, you’ll collaborate with industry leaders, contribute to world-class nuclear projects, and gain exposure to some of the most ambitious engineering programmes on the planet.

Job Description

The Job Mission
This is a hybrid role for candidates living within commutable distance to Bridgwater, or willing to relocate (relocation support available). You’ll join our site-based Layout Team, providing engineering support to construction by reviewing and optimising plant design.

Your future team will depend on your ability to assess site change requests, ensure the design intent is maintained, and coordinate updates across engineering disciplines.

Key responsibilities:

  • Assess site requests to determine impact on plant layout
  • Gather technical inputs and develop solutions with supporting justification
  • Review and update 3D models, drawings, and installation tolerances
  • Liaise with mechanical, HVAC, piping, civil, equipment, and electrical teams
  • Coordinate with site construction teams and installation contractors
  • Initiate and manage change processes to implement design updates
  • Monitor and report progress, challenges, and risks to the Layout Team Lead
  • Contribute to closing out technical queries and lessons learned
  • Maintain compliance with safety and design requirements
  • Support collaborative team meetings and knowledge sharing

My profile

Essential Skills and Qualifications

Edge Computing Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK edge computing hiring has moved from tool‑lists to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise resilient edge architectures, real‑time data pipelines, secure device fleets, container/Kubernetes at the edge, on‑device/near‑edge ML, and measurable business impact (latency, reliability, cost‑to‑serve). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for edge platform engineers, IoT/OT engineers, edge SREs, embedded/firmware engineers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/private LTE), security specialists & product managers. Who this is for: Edge platform/SRE, IoT solution architects, embedded/firmware developers, edge AI/ML engineers, network engineers (5G/SD‑WAN), security engineers (OT/ICS), data/streaming engineers, site deployment/field engineers & edge product managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Edge Computing Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

For years, computing innovation was focused on the cloud. But as demand for real-time analytics, low-latency processing and secure local data handling grows, edge computing has become the next frontier. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare monitoring devices, retail checkout systems to industrial IoT, edge computing is transforming how data is processed and used in the UK. This shift has also changed what it means to work in the field. Edge computing careers are no longer purely technical. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design, as professionals must consider regulation, human behaviour, communication & usability alongside engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why UK edge computing careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five fields intersect with edge roles, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to thrive in this evolving landscape.

Edge Computing Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Edge Computing Department

Edge computing is expanding rapidly in the UK, driven by demands for low latency, on-site processing, IoT proliferation, autonomous systems, 5G, AI inference on devices, and regulatory pressures for data sovereignty. Businesses in sectors such as telecoms, industrial automation, retail, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare are pushing computation and intelligence closer to where data is generated. But to design, build, deploy, secure, and maintain edge computing systems requires more than just hardware or software — it requires structured teams with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. If you’re hiring, or applying for roles via EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk, understanding who does what in a mature edge computing department will help you plan better, show relevance in job applications, and build resilient teams. This article covers the key roles in edge computing teams, how they collaborate through the project lifecycle, what skills and qualifications UK employers usually expect, salary benchmarks, challenges and trends, and best practices for structuring effective edge teams.
