People who“We understand that the success of every project depends entirely upon the calibre of people who are tasked to undertake it.

That’s why we are proud to introduce a committed workforce with an unrivalled breadth and depth of skills and experience, who fundamentally understand that collaboration is essential to our success.

The breadth of our expertise means we are able to innovate to make nuclear safer, faster, at lower cost and deliver across all aspects of the nuclear energy life-cycle, from design and build, through operations and maintenance, to decommissioning, waste management and remediation.

We are licensed to operate thirteen nuclear sites in the UK; whilst also supporting other nuclear companies in the lifetime extensions of their fleet, and on delivery of new build nuclear power plants.

Working with Cavendish Nuclear, you will experience people who put safety first, people who understand your requirements, people who are committed to driving value and people who provide innovative solutions to technical and business challenges.

Work with us and you’ll discover that our focus on people is unique.”

Our dedicated team of programme and project management professionals has a wealth of experience spanning the nuclear sector.

We manage numerous programmes across the full delivery life-cycle, leading Parent Body Organisations (e.g. Dounreay and Magnox) and delivering complex projects for Site Licence Companies; for Sellafield, AWE, Magnox and as a partner to EDF’s fleet of operational AGR power stations.

Our processes are scalable to suit the size, complexity and safety requirements of the projects.

We strive to deliver world-class project performance through rigorous application of our defined process and approach, using highly competent professionals, working to standards aligned with international best practice.
