Job description
- Play a direct role in supporting renewable energy projects shaping the UK's clean-energy landscape.
- Be part of a team building large-scale fabricated structures that end up in the North Sea and beyond.
- Improve digital processes that help welders, designers, engineers, and fabricators work faster and smarter.
- Learn from a diverse group of experts tackling real engineering challenges every day.
- Innovate, experiment, and grow - your ideas are genuinely valued.
You'll Thrive Here If…
- You're early in your career and excited to develop skills in build strategy, DevOps, or platform engineering.
- You love improving processes and making things run smoother.
- You want your work to support real-world engineering, not just abstract code.
- You're proud to help accelerate the energy transition and support world-class fabrication.
Job Types: Full-time, Permanent
Requirements
Do you have experience in Python?, Curiosity, enthusiasm, and a love for improving systems.
- Basic understanding of build tools (Gradle, Bazel, CMake, Make - pick your flavour).
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI.
- Ability to script (Python, Bash, PowerShell, etc.).
- A solid grasp of Git and a willingness to explore its occasional chaos.
- A knack for problem-solving and a desire to support engineering excellence on a big scale.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Containerisation experience (Docker, etc.).
- Cloud knowledge or curiosity (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Exposure to DevOps, automation, or build engineering projects.
- An urge to optimise anything - code, pipelines, your morning routine, the works.
About the company
Junior Build Strategy Engineer - Navantia UK (Methil) Help power the future of renewable energy and advanced fabrication - one fast build at a time.
Welcome to Navantia UK Methil, where massive offshore renewable structures rise from the Scottish coastline and cutting-edge fabrication meets world-class engineering.
Here, our digital tools are just as important as our physical ones - and that's where you come in.
We're looking for a Junior Build Strategy Engineer to help keep our build systems, pipelines, and digital workflows running as smoothly as the North Sea wind farms we support.
Your Mission at Methil:
At our renewables and fabrication site, you'll support the digital engineering backbone that helps build offshore platforms, jacket structures, and other key infrastructure powering the energy transition.
Expect to:
* Tune build systems until they run smoother than freshly milled steel.
* Craft CI/CD pipelines that keep fabrication and engineering teams ahead of schedule.
* Investigate build failures with the enthusiasm of someone who genuinely loves logs (we won't judge).
* Learn from engineers who've seen everything from slow builds to 200-tonne structures taking shape.
* Document processes clearly - because future-you deserves kindness.
* Hunt down inefficiencies and shave precious minutes off build times (engineers will adore you for it).
