We undertake fundamental research to understand complex blast wave propagation and the associated structural response. We utilise a range of disciplines including engineering, mathematics, remote sensing and computational physics in order to provide operational analysis capability to our customer community.
- Participate in the research and development of appropriate tools to predict the response of structures subject to blast loading. This includes running and developing high fidelity structural models as well as reduced order models.
- Utilising state-of-the-art supercomputers to understand complex blast effects through fluid dynamics simulations and structural analysis.
- Identifying possible structural designs with limited information using associated design guides.
- Validation of modelling approaches through investigation of existing damage data as well as participation in experimental trials.
- Present your work at stakeholder meetings, conferences and support external collaborations in the UK and overseas.
- Non-linear static and dynamic analysis.
- Structural design (steel, concrete or masonry) to industry standards.
- Finite element modelling including explicit dynamics and high strain rate effects.
- Seismic analysis of buildings.
- Geotechnical engineering.
- Analytical or experimental research methods.
- Time to recharge your batteries with 270 hours of annual leave.
- Working a 9-day fortnight, employees have every other Friday off work.
- Consideration for flexible working arrangements so that your work may fit in with your lifestyle. Just let us know on your application if you wish to work part time.
- Maternity Leave - 39 Weeks Full Pay & Paternity Leave - 4 Weeks Full Pay.
- Opportunities for Professional Career Development that include funding for the annual membership of a relevant professional body, access to mentors and training.
- Support in initial and continued professional development (IPD and CPD), for a number of Professional Engineering Institutions (incl. ICE and IStructE), with AWE’s PEI accredited Professional Engineering Development programme.
- Training and development on state-of-art software and bespoke toolsets and platforms both on the job and through external training courses.
- Employee Assistance Programme and Occupational Health Services
- A generous defined contribution Group Personal Pension (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your own contribution)
- Life Assurance
- Discounts – access to savings on a wide range of everyday spending savings.
- Special Leave Policy including paid time off for volunteering, public service (including reserve forces) and caring for your family.
- A host of voluntary & core benefits to suit your health and wellbeing – more information available on our careers site.
Important things you need to know:
- Interviews will be 90 minutes in length and will be held over Microsoft Teams. You will be required to prepare a 10-minute presentation in advance.
- Candidates must be willing and able to obtain and maintain the necessary security clearance for the role. This will be funded by AWE.
