Cavendish Nuclear is the UK’s leading nuclear services company, delivering complex projects across the nuclear lifecycle.

You may be based in a number of locations, so you will need to be ready and willing to move throughout your programme. You’ll probably call Warrington, Bristol, or Newbury home, but you could also work from client sites (including nuclear power stations, or Devonport in Plymouth and Dounreay in Scotland).
At the heart of our Marine sector is our 320 acre Rosyth facility, which is home to one of the largest waterside manufacturing and repair facilities in the UK.

Digital transformation is at the heart of the site’s growth. This is not just a vision for the future but it is now a reality through the Type 31 Frigate programme where further investment in facilities and manufacturing equipment will support the integration of technology and new working practices to create a dynamic, effective and efficient, digitally enabled facility.
To make the most of the opportunities Marine has to offer, you’ll need to have great technical skills along with the drive and aspiration to develop your career to help us deliver our world-class programmes, develop new technologies and offer solutions for our vast range of customers.
Rosyth also hosts our commercial gas handling sector of the business – world leaders in the delivery of customer focused solutions for the transportation and storage of liquefied gas in the marine environment.
Your home base will be our Rosyth facility, however, some of your placements may be at other Marine sector locations, therefore you will need to be ready and willing to move to other sites throughout your programme.
