I’m not going to advocate for nuclear energy in this article. I will discuss why there has never been a better time to consider building a career in the nuclear industry than now.

Many Job Opportunities

The nuclear industry is undergoing a bit of a renaissance of late. As such, there are literally thousands of job opportunities across the globe.

Moreover, with many of the current workforce reaching retirement age and demand outstripping current workforce supply, the industry is looking to attract new talent from outside the sector.

A Wide Range of Roles

You can be forgiven for thinking that you need to have a degree in Chemistry or know your way around a lab to land a role in nuclear. This could not be further from the truth.

Over 80% of the roles in the sector overlap with other industries. To name a few of them:

  • Project Management
  • Marketing
  • Administration
  • Scaffolding
  • Welders
  • Steel Erectors
  • Quality
