Everything we do in our Energy, Security and Technology (ES&T) business - whether Aerospace, Defense, Intelligence, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Nuclear, Automotive, or Telecommunications - is more than just a project. It's our challenge as human beings, too.

About the opportunity
We are now recruiting Civil/Structural graduates to our specialist team in Barrow looking at the most complex and technically demanding structural engineering problems for the nuclear industry.
Each project is unique, but typically involves consideration of dynamic load effects due to extreme hazards, including seismic, blast, and impact. We have to look beyond code checks to get a deeper insight into structural response and failure mechanisms, considering ductility, nonlinear buckling, and soil structure interaction. We work things out as a team, starting from first principles, researching methodologies, challenging assumptions, thinking outside the box, and constantly learning.
We work to the highest standards. Our complex analysis models are rigorously validated. Everything we do has to be fully evidenced and justified through independent third-party review and ultimately to the nuclear safety Regulators. As a result, this is one of the most varied and challenging roles you can take on as a civil/structural engineer.
- Accredited degree in civil/structural engineering – minimum 2:1 Batchelor’s degree. Masters degree also advantageous.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Innovative thinking and adaptability
- Strong focus on team working
- Keen interest in structural dynamics
Due to the nature of the projects that we work on, you must have the right to work in the UK before you apply for this position, be willing to apply for UK Security Clearance, and be a sole (non-naturalised) UK national.
We want you to bring your whole, authentic self to Jacobs - have you got relevant work experience in engineering/construction? Travelled around the world? Worked in a bar? Been captain of a sports team or volunteered for a charity? Tell us - we’re looking for people with interesting stories and experiences!
