Our client, an established engineering design consultancy, is looking for an experienced CE&I (Control, Electrical & Instrumentation) Senior Design Engineer to join the team supporting a major UK nuclear decommissioning programme.
Working within the CE&I design team, you'll deliver, support others delivering, and check design packages and updates to meet functional and business needs. The installation and commissioning of the detailed designs is handled by dedicated site-based teams, so sits outside the scope of this role.

Professional registration – Incorporated Engineer (IEng) as a minimum
Academic qualification – HND as a minimum
A working understanding of one or more of the following standards: Small Power, Lighting & Earthing; Safety Systems; Programmable Electronic-based Control Systems; Process Instrumentation
