    The first signs that new build nuclear is starting to gather pace are starting to show. All staff jobs open presently, but give it 6 months, I hope the market for contract engineers picks up. Here in the north west, we're well placed to benefit from nuclear new build.

      I worked on AGR mid life update and the Sizewell B job.
      Used to work at the UKAEA at Culcheth as well.

      However, I thought most of the UK Nuclear jobs will go to France as they are going to do it for us, given a lot of the Nuclear industry in the UK closed down.

        You are definitely right, but Rolls Royce for one are opening a new civil nuclear business (and a new nuclear industry foundry) as are several other major co's. There is huge potential in new build in Europe since the supply chain is going to have to expand hugely to service both Areva and Westinghouse reactor projects and also big opportunities further afield to really rebuild the UK's nuclear industry on the back of new build. Plus, the UK is one of the world leaders in decommissioning and clean up technology. This is not to be underestimated as a revenue earner as old plants are closed across the world and have to be decommissioned.

          The recovery from the global recession is well under way, as I have said all along. The only thing that can stop it is a Tory government.

            Thank you Gordon, that's great to know.
