If you have worked on large-scale infrastructure - Water & Wastewater, Energy from Waste, Biomass, Pharmaceutical, Petrochemical, Chemical, Oil & Gas, Nuclear or major Industrial Construction - and you understand welding from a metallurgy, NDT and standards perspective, this is your opportunity to apply that expertise on a truly safety-critical project.

This is not just inspection.

This is engineering assurance in a nuclear safety environment.

You'll be responsible for carrying out site quality surveillance activities across mechanical installation and fabrication scopes including:

• Pipework
• Pressure systems
• Static & rotating equipment
• Structural and mechanical assemblies

Working within the Site Quality Surveillance Team, you'll ensure construction activities are completed in accordance with approved quality requirements, inspection plans and applicable industry codes.

Key Responsibilities
