  • Undertake plant layout planning, 3D modelling, and design coordination using industry-standard software and BIM tools.
  • Support decommissioning and containment projects by developing bespoke air handling and ventilation solutions.
  • Conduct site surveys, airflow modelling, and performance analysis to optimise system design and compliance.
  • Produce comprehensive design documentation, including specifications, calculations, equipment schedules, and technical reports.
