Net Zero Needs Nuclear – and Nuclear Needs You


Be part of the team powering the UK’s clean energy future.


A nuclear renaissance is underway. From SMRs and AMRs to fusion, fuel-cycle innovation, and grid-scale resilience, the UK is investing in nuclear like never before. To deliver on this ambition, we’re looking for curious engineers, sharp analysts, and systems thinkers ready to make a genuine national impact.

With us, you will:
•    Tackle problems that truly matter
•    Strengthen the UK’s long-term energy security
•    Deliver world class engineering and consultancy solutions
•    Help shape the next generation of nuclear capability

Your skills can change the future.
 

Step up. Get involved. Make it happen.


About the Role
As a Nuclear Engineering Consultant, you will work on some of the UK’s most exciting and complex engineering challenges.
