Engineer / Senior Engineer (Mechanical, Gas & Pipeline) · Spadeadam, Cumbria
The Opportunity
Very few engineers get to generate evidence rather than apply it. A major hazards research and testing site on the Cumbria/Northumberland border, is one of few places that does. Demand for answers on hydrogen safety, high-pressure gas systems and explosion risk is growing, and the team is expanding.
The Impact You Will Have
Design, build and operate unique experimental facilities and full-scale test rigs for questions never answered at this scale before. Generate evidence that shapes engineering standards and major investment decisions across energy and industrial sectors. Work the full project lifecycle, from design through construction, commissioning and live testing. Take on real technical ownership early, with senior engineers leading complex programmes. Contribute to emerging fields including hydrogen safety and battery storage.
What Success Looks Like
Strong fundamentals in mechanical, gas, pipeline or chemical engineering, with curiosity to apply them where no textbook has the answer yet. Comfortable hands-on and on-site, not a desk-bound role. Motivated by this work specifically, not just the next engineering job. Sound judgement and a genuine safety-first mindset. For Senior Engineer applicants, chartership or a clear path to it.
What Is on Offer
Career development few employers can match, with structured support toward chartership. Genuinely novel project work, no two projects the same. Progression across Engineer and Senior Engineer grades. Practical relocation support for the right candidate.
An engineering career built on evidence nobody else has generated. If that appeals, and you are ready to call this part of Cumbria home, we would like to hear from you.
