We are looking to recruit an engineer experienced in assessing the structural integrity of components to support growing demand for our services from clients in the aerospace and power industries. Primarily using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods, you will conduct strength, fatigue (low cycle and high cycle fatigue), creep and defect tolerance assessments of safety-critical parts to help our clients develop new designs, solve their operational problems, and justify the life extension of existing assets.

You will write bespoke software tools to assess components more quickly, or in more detail to remove conservatism. You’ll also have the opportunity to deliver and lead projects across the whole Frazer‑Nash portfolio, supporting our customers in the defence, energy and transport sectors. Our projects are very diverse and can last from a few weeks to many years of sustained support.

You will typically be involved in multiple projects at any one time. You will meet and communicate with customers to understand their requirements and develop the approach to deliver the desired outcomes and insights.

Although primarily a technical role, you will be joining a consultancy where we expect you’ll be able to work across our business and with our clients. Good interpersonal skills are important as is the ability to make structured decisions, solve problems, and show initiative and ownership internally and externally.

• Experience with Finite Element Analysis (e.g., Abaqus, Ansys or SC05).
• Experience in failure mechanisms: strength, fatigue (low cycle and high cycle), creep, fracture.
• Experience in a technical consultancy environment (advantageous but not essential).
• Experience of business development, building client relationships, project management (advantageous).
• Required:
  
  pre‑employment screening and UK National Security Vetting clearance.

• Competitive salary with annual reviews.
