About the Role
This role involves preparing blast engineering analysis and design of structural and façade systems. You will collaborate with multi-disciplinary design teams, including architects, engineers, cost consultants, and project managers, to integrate design solutions into the built environment.
Blast engineering requires a unique approach, focusing on the aesthetic, form, and function of facilities. This is an excellent opportunity for a structural engineering graduate to develop a career in strategic input and first-principles design.
You will work within a risk-based framework, developing the design basis and preparing designs to meet client requirements. This includes managing client relationships and discussing design performance, acceptable risk levels, and the cost implications of mitigation measures.
The role also involves developing Hostile Vehicle Mitigation strategies to complement blast load assumptions and counteract malicious threats.
Training and Development
The team provides a comprehensive training system to apply fundamental university knowledge to blast engineering. You will join a community of experts and receive support for your career path and professional qualification.
