Nuclear Engineering Jobs: An Essential Part of the Industry!

Nuclear engineering jobs are an essential part in the nuclear industry. Experienced engineers make all the difference in any power plant. At Thomas Thor we have a wide variety of nuclear engineering jobs available.

Why Nuclear Engineering Jobs are Popular Today.

Nuclear energy is a low carbon source of energy contrary to energy produced from fossil fuel, namely oil and gas. Nuclear energy is the only non intermittent low carbon source of energy the world has available now except for hydro energy. For developed countries, energy produced by nuclear power plants represents a chance to lower their emissions and respect their commitments. For developing countries, nuclear energy represents the chance to grow their local economy in a sustainable way and to lower creation of and exposition to green house gases, notably in domestic settings. Nuclear energy production is part of the effort to fight against global warming. Nuclear engineering jobs are therefore indispensable and guarantee an interesting, international and long lived career.

Safety Culture in the Nuclear Industry

Like any power plant, nuclear power plants are strategic assets and are protected as such. Because of the nature of nuclear energy, it is even more necessary to keep safety at the center of every step of the life-cycle of a nuclear power plant, be it the construction, the operation and maintenance, or the life extension and waste management. But the culture of safety does not only involve the physical safety of the people working on site or the physical protection of the power plant, it also covers now cyber security. Safety remains at the heart of every nuclear engineering job.

What Nuclear Engineers Do

Nuclear engineers research and develop the processes, instruments, and systems used to derive benefits from nuclear energy and radiation. Many of these engineers find industrial and medical uses for radioactive materials—for example, in equipment used in medical diagnosis and treatment. Nuclear engineering jobs are very diverse, from agronomical to medical use, energy to defense.

Nuclear Life-Cycle

A nuclear project – the development of a nuclear power plant from the planning stages to the end of its life – typically spans over 100 years, from designing to licensing, building and operating, to life extension, refurbishments and waste management.

Global Industry

Nuclear power plants projects are present now all over the world and represent a very global industry indeed. Nuclear industry is experiencing a continuous growth in Asia and the Middle East as well as renewed one in Canada, Finland and UK. The need for skills and know-how transfer is tremendous and in some cases urgent. For professionals from mature markets that have slowed down like the US and some countries of Western Europe, this represents an opportunity to work abroad and encourage a mobility of skills and know how.
