We support projects that are high value, high performance or safety critical for world‑class organisations. Projects are diverse and can last from a few weeks to many years of sustained support.

• Assess 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.

• Write bespoke software tools to assess components more quickly, or in more detail to remove conservatism.

• Deliver and lead projects across the whole Frazer‑Nash portfolio, supporting our customers in the defence, energy and transport sectors.

• Meet and communicate with customers to understand their requirements and develop the approach to deliver the desired outcomes and insights.

• Work across the business and with clients. Good interpersonal skills are important as is the ability to make structured decisions, solve problems, and show initiative and ownership internally and externally.

• Support others in the team with project delivery, building client relationships, and contributing to the capability development.

• Engage in learning new skills and capabilities for growth in areas of engineering interest.

• A degree in engineering or equivalent.
• Technical knowledge in the mechanical/structural engineering domain.
• Experience with Finite Element Analysis (e.g., Abaqus, Ansys or SC03).
