About the Opportunity

Jacobs are recruiting for an Assistant Engineer to join our EDF framework delivery team.

  • Everyone working in our team will have a proven track record of working within highly regulated environments with high safety standards and culture. Safety training, site training and mentoring will be provided in this role.
  • Strong communication and organisational skills are a must with the ability to develop relationships and maintain effective networks and be results-focused tempered with a team-centred approach.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
  • A completed apprenticeship or similar experience is recommended, though consideration will be given to college leavers looking to come straight into the workplace.
  • HNC/HND/degree qualified looking for entry into the workplace.
  • Good analytical, troubleshooting, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Ability to follow instructions and to collaborate with others.
  • Able to prepare and maintain engineering documentation for example Quality Plans and technical specifications.

  • Nuclear Experience not essential.
