About Assystem

Assystem is one of the world's leading engineering organisations, delivering major low carbon infrastructure across the UK and internationally.

Why Join Us

The UK is entering the

Golden Age of Nuclear

, and early-career engineers have a unique chance to shape it. Experience gained at Hinkley Point C becomes a direct pathway into future programmes like Sizewell C, SMRs, fusion and advanced reactor projects.


If you're early in your career and currently working in

construction, utilities, heavy industry, energy, water, defence or similar

, your skills transfer naturally into nuclear. You'll gain exposure you simply won't find elsewhere: major project scale, technical depth and long-term progression.


You'll also benefit from competitive pay, strong pension contributions, flexible hours, professional fee support and future opportunities across Assystem's expanding UK portfolio.
