Tackling the UK Nuclear Skills Shortage

By Emily Squance • July 28, 2025

The UK nuclear industry stands at a turning point. With major projects like Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C underway and billions in government investment, the sector is poised for transformative growth and demand for skilled nuclear professionals is surging. The UK’s nuclear workforce has already grown by 35% since 2021, now employing around 87,000 people , yet a growing talent shortfall threatens to stall momentum. According to the ECITB, the sector will require a 30% increase in skilled roles over the next five years. But more than 90% of employers are already struggling to recruit for critical roles including project controls, safety technicians, planners, and mechanical and electrical engineers. Without a coordinated response, the UK’s goal of reaching 24GW nuclear capacity by 2050 (and creating 40,000 new jobs ) could be out of reach.
