Mechanical and Marine Graduate Engineer

Who we are?

Frazer-Nash are a leading engineering, systems, and technology consultancy. Through our meaningful innovations and insights delivered into projects, our experts help organisations make lives safe, secure, sustainable, and affordable.

In a nutshell, engineering consultancy is all about providing advice to positively impact our clients’ projects and businesses and the wider world around us.

Why Frazer-Nash?

With the transition to net zero and the drive towards a more sustainable and more equitable society, the world is facing many challenges. Working with our clients, we are finding engineering and technology solutions, and getting a kick out of it as we do!

As a graduate, you will be a part of this and you will typically be working on multiple projects simultaneously, managing your time and accruing a wealth of experience and skills. Hence, no two days in Frazer-Nash will be the same.

As a Mechanical or Marine Graduate Engineer you’ll be surrounded by a supportive engineering community to help you deliver impact, learn, and excel. This community includes your graduate engineer peers and those in the first few years of their careers through to internationally recognised experts with many decades of experience. Given the multidisciplinary and collaborative nature of our work you will be supporting not just your immediate teams, but also in a range of other fields – whether it’s engineering, digital or human sciences, we’re an interesting bunch.

The role:

This is a Mechanical or Marine Graduate Engineer role within our Plymouth based Asset Integrity team at Frazer-Nash. This team supports our Defence, Energy and Transport & Industry client sectors.

Within these areas you will be involved in delivery a diverse range of projects to our clients working from component level to system level, throughout all aspects of project lifecycle (from R&D to decommissioning) and in conjunction with other technical disciplines.

Your projects could include;

• assessing the integrity of wind turbine or nuclear power station equipment for extended life;
• design of a submarine maintenance platform and stand;
• certification of a structure for operation during earthquakes;
• development of multi-physics novel space satellite system.

The successful individuals will receive training, mentoring and coaching to support their development into becoming well-rounded consultants and will be supported to achieve professional accreditations including chartership with one of our five partnered institutions (IMechE, RAeS, IET, RINA & IoP).
