SPACE

Space is referred to as the great unknown, but our ambition is to facilitate those who seek to garner knowledge from it’s massive potential. As the world grows ever-smaller, missions into the stratosphere, exploration into parts unseen, and utilising capabilities never thought possible, become critical in our development as we depend on the services supplied as consequence.


The Space industry is one of global collaboration and intention, with unity built from a shared goal of furthering human advances into a new age. Here at Meritus we are incredibly proud to represent and partner with businesses that discover exponentially important ways of gathering resources that the Earth does not yet offer.


Our agency supports businesses whose satellites ensure secure communication between two people on opposite sides of the globe, supplies space industry talent that is crucial to building and delivering first-of-their-kind projects that break records for unmanned missions, and creates teams that boldly go where no person has gone before.


Our expert team of specialist space recruitment consultants understand the highly regulated sphere which only recruits the top percentile of engineers worldwide. Our recruiters are capable of holding extensive, probing conversations about complex technologies that aren’t publicly available, and our agency is able to source profiles not commercially available on traditional platforms.

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.
