Mechanical Design Engineer; StructuralFEA Civil Nuclear Submarines

Mechanical Design Engineer (Structural/FEA) – Civil Nuclear

Warrington

Full time / Hybrid (three days in the office)

We have a Mechanical Design Engineer (Structural/FEA) role within Rolls‑Royce Civil Nuclear working on the Ultimate Diesel Generator (UDG) Project for Hinkley Point C (HPC). This project is of strategic importance to the UK and Rolls‑Royce as it contributes to the transition to a low‑carbon future and is the first nuclear power station built in the UK in 20 years.

The Mechanical Design Engineer will be responsible for the design and substantiation of a wide range of structures and components. The project covers design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of several systems to make up the UDG provision, offering an interesting and challenging design/substantiation role with the opportunity to see designs realised, installed, and commissioned.

You’ll be designing, analysing and assessing various structures and components with key responsibilities as outlined below:

• Undertaking design calculations in accordance with industry standard design codes and standards.
• Generate, evaluate and select the most appropriate design based on cost while ensuring they are suitable for use and compliant with any space constraints, customer and UK regulatory specifications.
• Work with the Computer Aided Design (CAD) team to produce equipment fabrication drawings.
• Produce equipment specifications.
• Present designs at internal Technical Reviews.
• Work with fabricators to realise the designs.

• Previous experience in mechanical or structural/stress analysis.
• Creating detailed technical reports, presentations, analysis summaries and recommendations for design improvements.
• Understanding of material properties.
• Knowledge of industry standards and regulations.
• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent).

To work for Rolls‑Royce you must hold a Security Check clearance. We will support the application for Security Clearance if you don’t already have it. Due to the nature of the work we conduct we can only progress applications from individuals who are a UK national or, in MoD approved cases, a dual national.

Rolls‑Royce are committed to being a respectful, inclusive and non‑discriminatory workplace where individuality is valued, diverse perspectives fuel innovation and everyone can thrive.
