Description
Nuclear Safety Engineers – Australia
Frazer-Nash is a leading systems, engineering, and technology company. We help organisations deliver innovative engineering and technology solutions to make lives safe, secure, sustainable, and affordable.
Your Opportunity
We are seeking to further grow our already highly regarded systems safety and nuclear engineering capability. We are thus keen to hear from those with nuclear safety experience, especially in the naval nuclear sector. Those with broader naval nuclear experience are also invited to apply.
Our work is spread across diverse industries from defence to healthcare, energy production to transport infrastructure. We work with our clients to refine their needs and support them in delivering and assuring solutions that are fit for purpose, deliver safety and are environmentally compliant.
At Frazer-Nash we can offer professional engineers of any technical discipline a dynamic work environment, where you bring your own expertise to our group but with an enthusiasm for working across sectors and broadening your experience base.
With the recent announcement of the new AUKUS pact there has never been a better time for engineering professionals, especially those with nuclear safety expertise, to be in Australia. Australia needs to build a significant sovereign workforce in order to deliver this major uplift in Defence capability. This is supercharging an already exciting environment for fast career progression.
Additionally, we have a wide range of other interesting and innovative safety and assurance projects to help broaden and strengthen your skills.
Our current projects include:
- Supporting naval surface ship and submarine programs in Adelaide.
