About the Environment

You will be working within a highly specialised engineering environment supporting fusion energy research at the MAST-U facility, collaborating with multi-disciplinary engineering teams in a safety-critical, technically challenging setting.

Why Apply?

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge fusion energy research while working on complex and varied electrical and instrumentation systems in a highly respected national laboratory environment
