As was announced in the UK Government's recent Spending Review, the UK nuclear sector is about to expand significantly, driven by substantial government investments and a renewed focus on energy security and decarbonisation. For employers in this dynamic industry, our Jobs Board presents a valuable platform to connect with a highly skilled and motivated workforce.
Here's how the Nuclear Institute Jobs Board supports nuclear industry employers.
1. Access to a Growing Talent Pool
Recent government commitments include a £14.2bn investment in Sizewell C and £2.5bn for Rolls-Royce's Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). On the defence side, over £6bn was announced to enable a transformation in the capacity, capability and productivity of the UK's submarine industrial base.
These projects are expected to create thousands of jobs across various disciplines in nuclear. The NI Jobs Board serves as a central hub for professionals seeking opportunities in this expanding sector, ensuring employers can tap into a diverse and qualified talent pool.
2. Targeted Exposure to Industry Professionals
The NI Jobs Board is specifically tailored for the nuclear sector, attracting individuals with the expertise and passion required for roles in this field. This includes the ~5000 members of the Institute.
By posting vacancies here, employers will be able to reach candidates who are not only skilled but also experienced in nuclear already. This targeted approach increases the likelihood of attracting the right candidates for specialised roles.
3. Support for Professional Development
The Nuclear Institute is committed to fostering professional development within the nuclear sector. Employers who engage with the NI Jobs Board demonstrate their commitment to building a skilled workforce.
Our members build their skills and CPD through eLearning, mentoring, networking amongst many other tools at their disposal. Professional membership and registration enabled by the NI provides further independent verification of candidates' expertise.
4. Enhanced Visibility and Employer Branding
Engaging with the NI Jobs Board provides employers with enhanced visibility within the nuclear sector. It offers a platform to showcase their commitment to the industry, highlight their involvement in major projects like Sizewell C and SMRs, and attract top talent. A strong presence on the NI Jobs Board can bolster an employer's brand as a leading organisation in the nuclear sector.
Conclusion
As the UK nuclear industry embarks on a new era of growth and innovation, meeting the 40,000 net new jobs target by 2030 is more important than ever.
As the professional membership body dedicated to nuclear, the Nuclear Institute is a key audience with more than 5,000 members, across both the civil and defence sectors.
