Stress Engineer

Overview

Join a high-performing engineering team delivering complex, regulated projects across multiple sectors.

You'll take ownership of structural analysis activities-ensuring designs are robust, compliant, and delivered to quality, time, and budget.

What you'll do

• Perform stress and structural analysis (hand calcs + FEA where needed)
• Work closely with design engineers to solve real-world engineering problems
• Produce and check design substantiation reports
• Act as the technical authority for analysis, including subcontractor work
• Influence designs early to improve manufacturability, cost, and performance
• Support planning, mentoring, and continuous improvement of analysis methods

What we're looking for

• Strong experience in stress analysis & hand calculations (Mathcad)
• Knowledge of relevant standards (e.g. Eurocodes / lifting or structural codes)
• Background in a highly regulated environment (nuclear, defence, etc.)
• Experience with FEA tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran or similar)
• Ability to interrogate designs and define load cases (static, dynamic, fatigue)
• Confident communicator, able to justify analysis to stakeholders
