We’re looking for an experienced EC&I Commissioning Engineer to join a multi-disciplinary team delivering complex capital projects at Capenhurst. You’ll be the go-to for commissioning EC&I systems — from functional testing and documentation through to stakeholder sign-off and handover.

What’s in it for you?
  • A long-term contract with real longevity (initially 12 months, but likely to extend well beyond)
  • A role that puts you at the heart of nuclear innovation and infrastructure
  • A site-based position where your expertise will be seen, heard, and valued
What you’ll be doing:
  • Leading EC&I commissioning activities — testing, troubleshooting, and handing over systems
  • Reviewing design deliverables and ensuring everything aligns with safety and regulatory standards
  • Working closely with other disciplines to ensure seamless system integration
  • Supporting readiness reviews, investigations, and formal handovers
What you’ll bring:
  • A degree in Electrical, Control & Instrumentation Engineering (or similar)
  • Strong EC&I commissioning experience — ideally in nuclear, defence, or energy
  • Familiarity with PLCs, SCADA, instrumentation, and control systems
  • Due to the security restrictions of the site, you will need to be a British citizen - need to be eligible for SC clearance.
Bonus points if you’ve worked on high voltage systems — but it’s not a dealbreaker.
