Career Opportunities

The nuclear industry can offer a rewarding career to just about anyone. Whether you would like to be a scientist, engineer, business person or like working with your hands. There is almost certainly a role for you.

The Critical Paths team would like to pass on the following general tips from their recent experiences of leaving school and deciding on a career:

Identify what you are passionate about and what you are good at.

Talk to careers advisers but also try to talk to people in industry for advice.

Get some work experience during your holidays, weekends or after school/college.

An apprenticeship is just as good a way to enter the industry as any other, and you get paid!

Try hard and you can achieve whatever you want to.

Don’t be scared to ask for help. You don’t get if you don’t ask.

Don’t expect to have your whole career planned out straight away. Some of our team didn’t know what they wanted to do until they were 22, others still don’t!
