About our Business…
Ansaldo Nuclear is one half of an Italian/UK integrated engineering business, in the nuclear industry.
In the UK, our teams – and that could include you – are working on the design of bespoke mechanical handling, process and test equipment including the associated control and automation equipment for the nuclear industry across defence, decommissioning and new build. Our projects include producing designs from optioneering and concept through to detail design for manufacture.
Then taking our designs into manufacture through to install and commissioning. There is no “normal” project or day – our Graduate opportunities, and all of our roles are for people who love creating solutions to complex problems and never stop learning.
Our Graduate scheme is now in its 9th year and considered a real success and a massive asset in the business, not least because of the successful contribution our Graduates have made and continue to make.
