Insights Hinkley Point C

Hinkley Point C (HPC) is the first nuclear power station to be constructed in the UK since the 1990s, marking a pivotal moment for energy and sustainability. 

As the largest infrastructure project in the country, HPC is a source of immense pride for AtkinsRéalis, with our talented teams driving its success.

This transformative project is set to provide low-carbon electricity to approximately 6 million homes, meeting 7% of the UK’s electricity needs. Beyond energy, Hinkley Point C nuclear power station is boosting the local economy, and paving the way for a more sustainable future. 

Shaping the future of nuclear design and engineering

From the very beginning, we’ve been integral to HPC's journey. We were instrumental in securing its UK Nuclear Site License—the first in over 20 years. Now, during the 10-year construction phase, we continue to deliver comprehensive engineering and technical services.

Our expertise spans civil, mechanical, electrical, process, and nuclear engineering, alongside multidisciplinary design and environmental planning services. This end-to-end support showcases AtkinsRéalis' leadership in jobs on Hinkley Point C, from conception to execution.

Driving innovation with cutting-edge digital engineering

Our approach to Hinkley Point C jobs has been revolutionized by our advanced digital engineering capabilities. Our teams developed sophisticated 3D reinforced concrete models, seamlessly integrated with procurement and construction workflows.

By leveraging virtual reality capture and automated processes, we’ve enhanced construction safety and efficiency, reducing costs while maintaining the highest standards of quality. 

These innovations underline why Hinkley Point C jobs are both challenging and rewarding, offering career-defining experiences.

Award-winning contributions to a landmark project

Our efforts at HPC have not gone unnoticed. We were honoured with Tekla’s “Best Industrial Project Award” for our groundbreaking use of Tekla Structures to create a fully integrated 3D reinforcement model of the plant.

This recognition reflects the exceptional collaboration and innovation within our teams, highlighting why Hinkley Point C nuclear power station jobs at AtkinsRéalis are at the forefront of the industry.

Building opportunities at Hinkley Point C

As Europe’s largest construction site at its peak, Hinkley Point C's location has become a hub for economic growth and employment. The project is creating 25,000 jobs, with nearly 4,000 workers already on-site. It also offers 1,000 apprenticeships, opening doors to exciting careers.

We are proud to contribute to these opportunities, emphasising the importance of hiring local talent and fostering a diverse workforce to power the UK's energy future. Jobs at Hinkley Point C offer the chance to be part of something truly transformative.

Sustainability through nuclear innovation

Hinkley Point C nuclear power station represents a significant step forward in reducing carbon emissions. Its two EPR reactors will offset approximately 9 million tonnes of CO₂ annually, equating to 600 million tonnes over its 60-year lifespan.

This contribution is vital as the UK accelerates efforts to achieve net-zero emissions, and we are proud to play a role in this global sustainability mission.
