The UK Nuclear Sector Is Booming — But Where Are All the Candidates?

If you're trying to hire in the nuclear sector right now, you already know the answer: they're like gold dust. The UK is in the middle of the biggest nuclear investment push in a generation. Hinkley Point C is approaching peak construction. Sizewell C has the green light and is gearing up. Sellafield is spending billions on decommissioning. Rolls-Royce is pushing ahead with Small Modular Reactors. And down in Barrow, the submarine programme is scaling up fast. All of that is brilliant news for the industry. But it creates one very big headache — everyone needs the same people, and there simply aren't enough to go around. The Nuclear Skills Strategy Group puts the gap at over 40,000 workers needed by 2030. On top of that, roughly a third of the current nuclear workforce is over 50 and heading towards retirement. It's not a future problem. It's happening right now.
