This is an exciting opportunity to join a multi‑disciplinary Design Approval Authority responsible for ensuring the integrity, safety and performance of critical infrastructure, systems, structures and components (SSC) that support high‑hazard operations. The team plays a key role in overseeing design intent, through‑life safety, operational requirements, and compliance with industry standards and regulatory expectations.

As a Mechanical/Structural Engineer, you will work alongside Mechanical, Civil, Electrical and Building Services Engineers to develop, assess and maintain engineering design substantiation for complex facilities. You will help ensure that safety justifications, operating limits, maintenance strategies and design documentation remain robust, current and aligned with good practice and legislation. This role directly supports both current operations and future programmes across a range of high‑integrity engineering environments.
