Electrical Engineer

Company: ASSYSTEM
Apply for the Electrical Engineer
Location: Manchester
Job Description:

Are you already working in nuclear, maybe at Sellafield or within decommissioning, and thinking about moving into new build?

We are looking for electrical engineers ready to take that next step and work on Hinkley Point C, gaining experience that will shape the rest of their career across future programmes like Sizewell C and SMRs. These roles based in the South West, in the Bristol or Bridgwater area, and will require relocation.

The UK is currently in the middle of a nuclear renaissance, and it is arguably the most exciting (and secure) place for a young engineer to be right now. With the government’s commitment to 24GW of nuclear power by 2050, you aren’t just taking a job; you’re joining a multi-decade mission to hit Net Zero.
