Our client is at the cutting edge of Science and Engineering services, tackling complex projects across energy, process industry, utilities, and the aerospace and transportation sectors. They are seeking talented and motivated individuals to join our successful safety and risk consultancy team to help deliver high-quality results to our clients. As part of their services, they undertake availability, reliability and maintainability (ARM or RAM) assessments for their datacentre and process industry clients.

The Job

As a Reliability Engineer in a consultancy environment, you will provide expert guidance to clients across various industries to improve the availability and reliability of their assets and systems. Your role will involve conducting in-depth predictive modelling and reliability assessments to identify improvement opportunities and to meet stringent availability design targets.

You'll work closely with clients to develop and implement data-driven solutions, drawing on industry best practices and reliability engineering methodologies such as FMEA, Reliability and Availability Modelling, and Fault Tree analysis. This position requires strong communication skills, adaptability, and a focus on delivering high quality deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

  • Interrogate Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and electrical single-line diagrams to develop Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs).

  • Analyse complex systems to identify failure modes and perform Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).

  • Conduct Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) analyses to inform decision-making and optimise system reliability.

  • Perform Availability, Reliability, and Maintainability (ARM) analyses to ensure project targets are achieved.

  • Utilise reliability software e.g. Isograph Reliability Workbench / FaultTree+ for advanced reliability and risk modelling.

  • Collaborate with clients to understand requirements and deliver tailored solutions.

  • Mentor junior team members.

  • Manage projects effectively, including planning, execution, and reporting, ensuring alignment with client expectations.

  • Provide technical input and recommendations to improve system reliability and performance.

  • Communicate findings and insights clearly through reports and presentations.

    Requirements

    The successful candidate will need to be self-motivated and able to prioritise work. It is essential that the candidate has the experience to:

  • A minimum of 5 years of reliability engineering experience, preferably in a consultancy or at an operating company within high-hazard industries or critical infrastructure sectors such as data centres, energy, or utilities.

  • Proven experience in conducting RAM analyses or ARM analyses.

  • Proficiency in Reliability software, preferably Isograph Reliability Workbench (FaultTree+) and Isograph Availability Workbench. Experience in similar tools like Maros are also desirable.

  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines.

  • Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact effectively with individuals at all levels, both with clients and in the office.

    Qualifications and Desirable Skills

  • A degree in Engineering, Reliability, or a related field is preferred.

  • Experience in conducting reliability assessments for data centres or other critical infrastructure e.g. energy or utilities.

  • Experience in working in the energy sector.

  • Familiarity with industry standards and best practices related to reliability engineering.

  • Adaptability and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment

Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Technologies & Platforms to Learn Now

From launch vehicles and CubeSats to space-based communications, climate monitoring, and lunar exploration—UK space jobs are entering a bold new era. With government investment, private capital, and ESA partnerships driving growth, demand is surging for professionals with the right skills to build and sustain this expanding space economy. Welcome to the Space Sector Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the engineering tools, simulation platforms, programming languages and mission technologies that UK employers are prioritising. Whether you're an aerospace graduate, software engineer, or systems integrator, this radar helps you target the future of UK space careers.

How to Find Hidden Space Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RAeS, UKSpace & More

The UK space sector is enjoying rapid growth—driven by satellite constellations, launch services, Earth observation, space science, and defence applications. But while demand for engineers, scientists, mission designers, and space analysts is high, many of the most compelling roles are never advertised publicly. Instead, these opportunities are often filled through professional networks, working groups, innovation clusters, and academic-industry partnerships. This guide will show you how to access hidden UK space jobs by engaging with bodies like the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), UKSpace, British Interplanetary Society (BIS), and regional space clusters. By leveraging membership directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), CPD events, and funded projects, you can position yourself to be first in line—even before roles are posted.

How to Get a Better Space Sector Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant from a role in the UK space sector can be disheartening. Whether your work was tied to satellite design, launch services, ground systems, mission operations, or Earth observation analytics, the experience and specialist knowledge you've gained is still highly valuable. The UK government’s Space Strategy, increased commercial investment, and new launch initiatives across Cornwall, Scotland, and Wales continue to drive opportunities in upstream and downstream space technologies. This guide will help you relaunch your career in the UK space sector after redundancy.
