Re-imagining nuclear to pioneer a sustainable net zero future

We are collaborative and specialist teams, solving the most complex challenges faced by the nuclear industry across the globe. We bring unrivalled lifecycle and technological expertise, drawing value from data and tackling pace and scale with automation.

Working in partnership with organizations including EDF, Magnox and Rolls-Royce, our strategy emphasizes national security and energy and fuel security, and powering AI data centres. It means we have decades of work in the pipeline - engineering, delivering, managing and decommissioning - offering you unrivalled variety to grow your career and propel you towards leadership. From a new Gigawatt plant in the UK, nuclear projects in the UAE, global SMR and AMR construction, AGR extensions, defueling and decommissioning, and significant work on Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, we have a dazzling portfolio of opportunity.

Add to this commissioning and operations prep, Geological Disposal Facility development, Fuel Production evolution, and Submarine Asset Management and it's clear that our people innovate and create value across the entire sector, on projects both at home in Europe and across the world.

But above all, we recognize that it is more than just a job. It's about the impact we can make to improve our world and keep everyone safe. It's about making the complex simple and the delivering on our vision every day.

Your career in Nuclear

Our Nuclear teams share a commitment to integrity - choosing the right option even though it might not be the easiest. We work nationally and globally, delivering solutions to make net zero a reality, safely cleaning up the world's nuclear legacy, doing our bit for national defence, keeping the lights on or bringing new projects to life.

Our commitment to work-life balance for all aims to support collaboration and team work, whilst giving each other the ability to structure our lives outside of work as we need to.

We support part-time working at every stage of your career, including in the years pre-retirement and offer comprehensive support for returners and those transferring from an adjacent sector.

We're a key player in the sector so you'll be working with clients who demand constant forward momentum - supported by teams that never stop developing and investing in our capabilities, harnessing the latest technology and turning bold ideas into reality.

Core teams

Our teams are based in hubs across the UK including Bristol, Derby, Epsom, Sheffield, Whitehaven, Glasgow, Birmingham, London and Manchester, as well as in three cities in France (Paris, Tours, Lyon), Germany and Romania. We are arranged over three businesses in Europe, plus a global technology center in India:-

When a nuclear site reaches retirement, our specialist teams are uniquely equipped to provide 360 services – from strategic advice to operations and full product delivery.

Our global waste management capabilities connect people, data and technology to provide cutting-edge tools, robotic solutions and treatment techniques for all types of waste, essentially removing the risk to humans in that space. We routinely manage waste for the UK, US and Canadian Governments. Fundamental to our capability is strong technical knowledge and broad experience within the nuclear industry.

In the UK our teams are based in Whitehaven, Bristol, Manchester, Epsom, Glasgow, Sheffield and Birmingham - and comprise Civil and Structural, Mechanical, and EC&I Engineers delivering solutions to technically complex problems; alongside the capabilities of our specialist and expert project and engineering management teams.

Our exciting portfolio of work covers both Nuclear Fission and Fusion new build projects which are a critical component in achieving our carbon net zero targets. We apply multi-discipline AtkinsRéalis skills across the whole project lifecycle, from initiation all the way through to commissioning and commercial operation.

We’re incredibly proud that we’re recognised as a key and trusted component of the nuclear new build industry through delivering engineering and project expertize through our brilliant workforce.
