At Vulcain Engineering UK, we’re continuing to grow. With a strong track record in nuclear new build and nuclear defence, we are now expanding further into nuclear fusion, renewable energy, power & grid, and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

We support our clients across the full project lifecycle – from design through to construction, commissioning and operation – helping deliver some of the UK’s most complex and critical infrastructure projects.

As part of this journey, we’re building a community of Electrical Engineers who want to shape the UK’s energy future. Whether you’re actively searching or simply curious about what’s next, we’d love to connect.

We’re particularly interested in UK-based talent across:

• High Voltage Substations & Grid Systems (Primary/Secondary design, HV substations, technical leadership)
• Pre-Construction & Delivery (electrical work packs, constructability, planning & readiness)
• Nuclear Engineering (design review, documentation, vendor coordination, senior electrical roles)
• Renewable Power (solar PV, HV design, grid compliance, risk management)
• Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) (design assurance, grid connection, safety standards)

Apply now to join our Talent Community

If you’re interested in being considered for current or future roles in electrical engineering, then we encourage you to submit your CV today. You’ll be first to hear when new opportunities arise and can be matched with projects aligned to your expertise.

Due to the regulated nature of many of our projects, candidates must:

• Have the right to work in the UK.
• Have UK-based project experience in relevant industries.
• Be based in, or willing to relocate to, one of our hubs: Bristol, Bridgwater, Suffolk, London, Glasgow, West Midlands, Cardiff, Gloucestershire, Warrington, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, or Durham

We welcome applications from those with backgrounds in nuclear, renewables, power generation, defence, utilities, or other complex infrastructure sectors.

What’s in it for you?

• Career development with structured training and pathways to chartership.
• A collaborative, supportive environment with international reach.

Please note that visa sponsorship is not guaranteed and is assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on role criticality and project needs. Many of our UK projects require high-level security clearance, meaning we can often only consider candidates with an existing, indefinite right to work in the UK. Exceptionally, we may consider visa sponsorship for applicants with niche experience aligned to our core work (e.g. EPR/nuclear new build).
