Technical placements


Tackling complex nuclear industry challenges.

Our Technical profession includes over 600 nuclear-industry specialists across six disciplines: Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Mathematics, Chemical/Process Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The Technical Placement Scheme offers an opportunity to learn from recognised specialists, developing technical and behavioural skills.

  • In the Technical profession, placement students tackle challenges supporting nuclear facilities and ensuring decisions are based on sound technical knowledge. Students gain valuable experience by solving complex projects and often lead work packages under supervision.
