Lead Commissioning Engineer

Lead Commissioning Engineer

“Do you want to be part of history in helping to decommission the first nuclear reactor of its kind in the UK, utilising state-of-the-art robotics equipment? Then come and join us, at our Southwest site, here in beautiful Dorset.

The SGHWR (steam generating heavy water reactor) was part of the UK programme to develop future options for nuclear power. It was a successful project and provided low carbon electricity for the UK as well as providing technical demonstration and valuable R&D. Magnox is now returning the site back to its original heathland condition, so this project is both technically challenging as well as delivering great environmental benefits.

We are at the forefront of using robotics technology and applying it to the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear reactors – develop your skills and experience in this ground-breaking field of engineering.

Come and be part of the challenge and help us safely and successfully deliver this exciting project – working with like-minded engineers, being part of this creative and innovative team.”
