Why Frazer-Nash?

With 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 summer internship student, you will typically be working on multiple projects simultaneously, managing your time and rapidly accruing a wealth of experience and skills. Hence, no two days in Frazer-Nash will be the same.

As an engineering summer intern you’ll be surrounded by a collaborative engineering community to support 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 summer internship within one of our nuclear facing teams who work within the civil nuclear sector, covering new build, support for generating stations, and preparations and delivery of defueling and decommissioning.

Your projects could include:

• Supporting design or modification optioneering / engineering decision making processes,
• Assessing the integrity of nuclear power station equipment for extended life,
• Risk identification and mitigation solutioneering,

• A team player: with the ability to work with others and different technical backgrounds. Build effective relationships through thriving in social settings and adjusting behaviour to the situation.
• A self-starter: with the ability and desire to take ownership of the tasks ahead of you and deliver them to the client, project or team to create an impact.
• A communicator: with the ability to discuss and convey projects and outcomes with internal stakeholders and clients who may be themselves in a technical or non-technical role.
• An evaluator: with the ability of evaluating information by understanding context and risk to make logical, informed decisions. Creating original and creative ideas through exploration and abstract thinking.
