At TRX, we specialise in placing highly skilled professionals across the nuclear industry. From operational support to project delivery and decommissioning, we're committed to providing a recruitment experience that is efficient, informed, and tailored to your career goals.
Whether you're seeking a permanent position or project-based contract work, we connect nuclear professionals with roles that match their technical expertise, clearances, and long-term aspirations.
Securing a permanent role in the nuclear industry requires more than an online search. Many high-value opportunities are never publicly advertised. Partnering with TRX gives you direct access to roles that align with your experience, qualifications, and professional ambitions — with guidance at every step.
The pace of change in the nuclear sector means contract roles often arise quickly — and demand niche expertise. We work closely with contractors to ensure you're considered early for time-sensitive opportunities that match your skillset and availability.
We're not just another recruitment agency. We're nuclear specialists who understand the unique demands, technical requirements, and career pathways in this sector.
Unlike generalist recruiters, nuclear is our entire business. We don't dabble in IT, finance, or healthcare — we live and breathe nuclear. This singular focus means we understand the technical nuances, regulatory requirements, and career progression paths that general recruiters simply can't grasp.
The best nuclear roles are rarely advertised publicly. Through our extensive network of EPCs, operators, regulators, and research institutions, we have early access to positions before they hit job boards. Many of our placements are for roles that were never publicly posted.
Our consultants aren't just recruiters — they're nuclear professionals who understand the difference between PWR and BWR, who know what ALARP means, and who can discuss the intricacies of your technical background. We provide informed career advice that goes beyond matching keywords on a CV.
We believe in clear communication. You'll always know where you stand in the process, what the client is looking for, and realistic timelines. We don't waste your time with unsuitable roles just to hit targets — we focus on genuine matches that advance your career.
We have real-time market intelligence on compensation across different nuclear roles, regions, and experience levels. We'll ensure you're not leaving money on the table and will negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible package, including benefits and relocation support.
We're not interested in one-off placements. We build lasting relationships with nuclear professionals, supporting your career progression over years and decades. Whether you're moving from operations to project management or transitioning into advanced reactors, we're here for the journey.
It's not you — it's your CV. Most CVs fail to get past initial screening because they don't effectively communicate your technical skills and experience in the way employers need to see them.

We recruit across the entire nuclear sector: engineering roles (civil, mechanical, electrical, I&C), project management, licensing and regulatory affairs, health physics, quality assurance, decommissioning, waste management, and emerging areas like fusion and advanced reactors.

Timelines vary depending on the role and employer, but typically from initial conversation to offer can take 3-8 weeks. Some urgent contract roles can move faster, while senior permanent positions or those requiring security clearances may take longer. We'll keep you informed at every stage and provide realistic expectations based on the specific opportunity.
Many of our best opportunities are never publicly advertised. By joining our network, you'll be considered for exclusive roles that come directly from our client relationships.

A strong nuclear CV clearly demonstrates your technical competencies, relevant certifications (e.g., security clearances, professional registrations), project experience with measurable outcomes, and understanding of safety culture and regulatory compliance. It should be tailored to the specific role and highlight your most relevant achievements. Our consultants can provide specific feedback on your CV and help you position your experience effectively.
We work with professionals at all career stages. While many of our roles require significant experience, we also place graduate engineers and early-career professionals in organizations with strong development programs. If you're a recent graduate with relevant qualifications (nuclear engineering, physics, mechanical engineering, etc.), we can help you find the right entry point into the industry.
We recommend updating your CV whenever you complete a significant project, gain new certifications, or your career goals change. At minimum, review and refresh your profile with us annually. Our consultants will also reach out periodically to check in on your situation and ensure we have your most current information.
