As leaders in innovative design, we deliver projects that make a lasting impact, protecting people and the planet while shaping the future of nuclear engineering. Jamie Jennifer Jamie Chemical & Process Design Engineer “At Sellafield we’re rarely going off an established script, most of the things we do we start with a blank page. As an engineer this is exactly what we want – having the freedom to apply our training, expertise and creativity to work out what to do. The unique challenges we face are difficult, but the community here in engineering design means you’re supported by experts in their field, who are all keen to help you develop.” Jennifer Principle Mechanical Engineer “Safety is at the forefront of everything we do in nuclear design engineering. It’s the priority, to protect workers, the public and the environment. In my role I must demonstrate that waste can be handled and long-term safely stored. Being in nuclear has provided me with the opportunities to keep growing my skills and knowledge, and Sellafield has all the variety of projects an engineer could want.” Apply now Apply now Register your interest Register your interest
