Nuclear new build is delivered in phases, but workforce challenges run across the full nuclear lifecycle
Nuclear new build is delivered in phases, but workforce challenges run across the full lifecycle. Rullion has supported civil nuclear new build recruitment across the UK’s most complex infrastructure programmes for over a decade.
Supporting clients and the wider nuclear supply chain
We are one of the UK’s largest nuclear workforce agencies supporting clients and the wider nuclear supply chain with dedicated delivery teams on active sites.
Built for the scale and complexity of nuclear new build
Driven by the need for energy security and low-carbon power, projects such as Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C are now in large-scale construction, with thousands of workers already on-site. Alongside this, the next phase of the UK’s nuclear programme is already taking shape through STEP and small modular reactors like the Rolls-Royce SMR.
This creates a continuous pipeline of activity across projects, regions, and delivery phases.
One partner across every phase of a nuclear programme
Nuclear new build programmes place unique demands on workforce delivery. Civils, MEH, and commissioning phases each require different skill sets, often overlapping across the same timeframes and locations.
The workforce demand doesn’t stay static. It moves with the programme, and workforce planning becomes a live, ongoing challenge across multi-year projects within the UK nuclear supply chain.
Understanding this, our workforce model is built to respond to changing demand across the full nuclear lifecycle, supporting delivery as programmes scale and progress.
Compliance ingrained in nuclear workforce delivery
Security clearance, IR35, and audit requirements are ingrained in our operating model as part of the process, supporting consistent and compliant delivery across safety-critical environments at scale.
Embedded in local and national nuclear supply chains
Long-term regional presence supporting local labour and supply chains with established relationships across nuclear project ecosystems.
Nuclear construction workforce demand planning
Civil nuclear new build recruitment built for workforce demand planning, allowing teams to scale as requirements change across all phases of the nuclear lifecycle. This is underpinned by consistent delivery at volume, with over 600 permanent nuclear hires each year across projects ranging from £100m to £47bn.
Workforce solutions designed for critical infrastructure
With 44 recruitment specialists working across regulated construction and critical infrastructure delivery, and 1,456 placements made in 2025 alone, Rullion is able to provide workforce solutions that support rapid mobilisation and long-term delivery across major nuclear programmes without compromising on compliance or safety.
