What does a nuclear engineer do?
Nuclear engineers work across the nuclear lifecycle, from new build and operations to decommissioning and waste management. They may specialise in reactor design, systems engineering, mechanical integrity, safety case production, or radiation protection.
Employed in sectors including energy, defence, and medical technology, they ensure compliance with UK regulations and support innovation in low-carbon energy generation. The role demands strong technical expertise, risk management skills, and an understanding of safety-critical systems.
