FAQ

We know finding a new job or hiring can feel complex. That’s why we keep things clear, quick, and human. Our FAQs cut through the noise, no jargon, no fluff. Just straight-talking support from people who get it. And if you don’t see what you need? We’re already on it.

The Nuclear sector is home to some of the best paychecks out there. For instance, a seasoned Nuclear Engineer can bag anywhere from £60,000 to over £100,000 a year. It's not just about numbers; it's about solving crucial industry puzzles, and that's something we know plenty about. 

To be a top player in nuclear, you'll need to get hands-on with simulation software like MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code) and radiation detectors. But tools aren't everything – master critical skills like safety management, problem-solving and an analytical mindset are sought-after skills. We know who's got these nailed down, so we can gear you up for success. 

It's a close call, but a balanced mix of both gets you far. In an industry where precision is king, technical skills like reactor physics and radiation safety often take the spotlight. Yet, a proven track record can shift the scales, showing you can turn theory into results. Whether it’s muscles or grey matter, we've got a knack for spotting both. 

Absolutely. If you've nailed it in sectors like engineering or manufacturing, you might already have what it takes. Problem-solving, project management, and high-stakes decision-making are in demand across industries. We see the parallels and can help you make the leap into nuclear. It’s all about reading the room and knowing the right moment to dive in. 

Gaining a foothold in Nuclear often starts with key certifications like the NEBOSH Certificate in Health and Safety or a degree in Nuclear Engineering. For more specialised paths, a Master's in Nuclear Physics can unlock doors. Qualifications are your springboard, but we know it's your potential that seals the deal. 

With five years under your belt, expect salaries to range between £50,000 and £85,000 annually, depending on your role and contribution. You’ve earned your stripes, and we’re here to ensure you get the recognition - and rewards - you deserve. Whether it's stepping up or moving on, we’ve got you covered. 

Entry-level doesn't mean entry salary. Fresh graduates in Nuclear can anticipate starting salaries from around £25,000 to £35,000 a year. Sure, it’s a starting block, but we see where you’re heading, and the sky’s the limit. We’re here to help you make a splash, not just a start. 

From online job boards to our vast network, we seek out top talent within Nuclear to match your needs.  

We start with understanding your needs, then advertise, screen and present candidates who fit your requirements.  

We meticulously review CVs, conduct background checks and assess skills to ensure candidates are up to the mark. 

Absolutely, whether you need a temporary worker or permanent specialist in Nuclear, we’ve got the networks to deliver.
