Instajobs is launching a dedicated Nuclear Recruitment service to support the UK’s next generation of clean, secure energy

This specialist function connects Nuclear employers with the skilled people they need across temporary, contract and permanent roles.

Why Instajobs Is Entering Nuclear

The UK Nuclear sector is expanding rapidly, with major new build, life extension and decommissioning programmes underway or planned over the coming decades. This is creating strong, consistent demand for talent across Project Management, Engineering, Construction, Safety, Quality, Technical and Support roles. At the same time, many employers face acute skills shortages and competition for experienced people, making a trusted recruitment partner essential.

With a track record of supplying high calibre workers into complex, safety critical and regulated environments, Instajobs is well placed to help Nuclear organisations scale their workforces, fill hard to recruit roles and build sustainable talent pipelines.

How Instajobs Supports the Nuclear Sector

Instajobs’ nuclear function is designed to flex around project lifecycles and site needs. This includes:

  • Temporary and contract resource to meet project peaks, outages and shutdowns.
  • Interim specialists for programme delivery, change and governance.
  • Permanent hires across engineering, technical, professional and leadership roles.

By combining targeted candidate sourcing, robust vetting and an understanding of nuclear site culture and compliance, Instajobs aims to reduce hiring risk while improving speed to hire and retention.

The UK Government’s Nuclear Plan

The UK government has set out plans for the largest expansion of civil nuclear power in decades to support energy security and net-zero carbon goals. Current policy aims to significantly increase nuclear generating capacity by 2050 through a mix of large-scale stations, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and advanced technologies. Alongside new build, there is ongoing investment in existing stations, decommissioning programmes and the wider nuclear supply chain.

These commitments translate into tens of thousands of high-quality jobs over the coming years, with a particular focus on developing and attracting specialist skills. By establishing a focused nuclear recruitment function, Instajobs is aligning its services with this long-term national strategy and helping clients secure the people who will deliver it.
