How to get started in nuclearSellafield sits between Seascale and Whitehaven on the West Cumbrian coast and is the largest single employer in the county's nuclear sector. Hiring runs through Sellafield Ltd itself and through the framework partners who deliver the decommissioning programme, so the same skill set often appears under several different company names.
The biggest volume of nuclear decommissioning jobs in Cumbria sits in waste retrievals and legacy pond and silo work, radiation protection and health physics, safety case and nuclear safety engineering, and project controls — planning, cost engineering and estimating. Alongside those, craft and technician roles in mechanical, electrical, C&I, welding and scaffolding are recruited continuously by contractors on site.
Most people travel in from Whitehaven, Egremont, Cleator Moor, Workington, Seascale and Millom, and a lot of contract roles run on a rotating shift or a compressed working week. If you are moving into the sector from another industry, our career guide covers the vetting, safety training and site access you will need, and the salary guide shows typical pay bands for nuclear jobs in Cumbria.
New Sellafield and decommissioning vacancies are added to this page every day. If nothing here fits today, set up an email alert and you will hear the moment a matching role is published.
