Nuclear engineering jobs are specialist engineering roles focussing upon the fission and fusion of atomic nuclei. Nuclear engineers are employed into sectors such as nuclear decommission, fuel reprocessing and nuclear waste management. They may work in environments related to nuclear reactors, nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
It’s an exciting field to be in, which receives investment from the public and private sector. Nuclear energy could be one of the main sources of energy in the future and some countries are already investing heavily in this technology. The increased interest, development and funding in this field have produced more nuclear jobs in the industry.
Entry level nuclear engineering jobs usually require a degree. Experienced positions are most likely to need some experience in the nuclear sector, although knowledge of other sectors may also be considered.

Our nuclear sector clients work across a number of disciplines, these include:
Nuclear decommissioning
|
|
Fuel reprocessing
|
Nuclear engineering jobs entail determining the processes, instruments and systems that underpin nuclear energy and radiation.
|
|
Jobs in fuel reprocessing involve the extraction of fissile materials from nuclear fuel to allow for their recycling and the reduction of high-level wastes. Fuel reprocessing is a rapidly growing area of the nuclear sector with regular job opportunities arising in this specialist discipline. |
Nuclear waste management
|
|
|
Jobs in nuclear waste management involve the treatment, processing, disposal and storage of historic legacy materials as well as current radioactive and low level wastes arising from commercial nuclear and decommissioning operations. |
