Who This Is For

Get Into Nuclear is for:
-
Engineers from adjacent sectors (oil & gas, utilities, defence, infrastructure)

The Nuclear Skills Gap
The UK nuclear industry faces a growing skills shortage.
​
New build, decommissioning, operations and defence programmes are all competing for the same capability. Employers aren’t just looking for “nuclear experience” — they are actively hiring people who can translate existing skills into nuclear‑ready roles.
We focus on the roles and competencies that consistently appear as critical across the sector.
