Nuclear. Safely Delivered.

The nuclear industry runs on one thing above all else: trust. Every engineer, every operative, every decision must meet the highest standards of safety, compliance, and performance. That’s where Morson Edge delivers. Our teams support the full lifecycle of nuclear programmes, delivering cleared and competent professionals at every stage – safely, efficiently, and always on time.

Powering the future. Protecting the present.

Powering the next generation of energy.

Every watt of nuclear power depends on precision in design, in engineering, in people.

The UK’s nuclear sector is entering a defining era: a new generation of builds, an ageing workforce, and an urgent need for skilled, security-cleared talent.

From legacy sites to new builds and small modular reactors, we provide the workforce solutions that keep the nuclear industry safe, compliant, and future-ready.

We’ve supported pioneers including Urenco, EDF Energy and Rolls-Royce SMR, delivering everything from embedded RPO teams to full project workforce mobilisation.

Because in nuclear, precision isn’t optional it’s the standard.

years supporting the UK’s nuclear workforce

Case Study | Urenco

An agile embedded talent solution

With a legacy spanning over 50 years, Urenco required a partner capable of managing its end-to-end talent strategy – across permanent, contract, and statement-of-work hiring –  in a highly regulated, high-security environment.

Due to an ageing population of skilled workers and a shortage of specialist talent, Urenco faced increasing difficulty attracting qualified candidates for critical roles.

The screening needs for these positions were complex, with rapid turnaround times required within restricted talent pools.

We implemented an embedded RPO1 model – a holistic talent solution encompassing RPO, contractor management, SOW delivery, and early careers. 

Our onsite recruitment team handled all day-to-day operations, underpinned by bespoke technology through Vencuro, offering full recruitment visibility, analytics, and accessibility via ReciteMe integration.

We built a sustainable sourcing strategy by blending early careers engagement, redeployment, and proactive market mapping.

The results

  • Time-to-offer reduced by 40 days
  • Time-to-approve reduced by 20 days
  • Contract issuance cut by 15 days
  • 100% clearance and audit compliance
  • Sustainable sourcing pipeline established

 

Case Study | Waldeck

Nuclear new build, Suffolk

As part of a proposed new nuclear power station in Suffolk, Waldeck was appointed to carry out a UAV survey across 275 hectares surrounding existing nuclear facilities.

The survey required high-precision data capture to deliver topographic drawings, orthomosaic outputs, and insights into land use for engineering design.

Through our partnership with Waldeck, Morson Edge supported the programme by providing specialist project personnel for ecological and archaeological works on-site.

Our recruitment delivery included 32 personnel across roles such as Ecologists, Clerks of Works, and Project Managers, ensuring operational excellence during pre-construction and environmental phases.

The results

  • UAV survey and deliverables completed within deadlines
  • Skilled project workforce deployed across multiple disciplines
  • End-to-end compliance and safety maintained

This partnership reflects our ability to combine technical engineering delivery with specialist workforce supply, keeping projects precise from the ground up.

Case Study | EDF Energy

Hinkley Point C

 The UK’s most ambitious energy project, Hinkley Point C, required over 22,000 skilled professionals across design, engineering, and construction phases – from civil to mechanical and electrical disciplines.

Delivering this scale of workforce safely and efficiently demanded deep industry understanding and localised delivery capability.

Working through Waldeck, part of the Morson ecosystem, we provided specialist engineering, BIM, and technical management services as part of EDF’s national engineering framework.

Our recruitment delivery included:

  • 106 permanent placements
  • 250 agency workers on active site operations

With a dedicated recruitment team in Barnwood, we identified and mobilised skilled professionals across project management, procurement, commercial, IT, and executive roles.

The results

  • Seamless workforce integration across multiple work packages
  • On-time delivery for critical construction milestones

Proven track record supporting the UK’s largest clean energy project

Case Study | Rolls-Royce SMR

Supporting the UK’s largest start-up

 Rolls-Royce SMR is reshaping the future of nuclear power through small modular reactors (SMRs) – compact, factory-built solutions designed to deliver faster, cleaner, more predictable energy.

 As the UK’s largest start-up, Rolls-Royce SMR required an agile recruitment partner to scale its team rapidly and establish best-in-class talent processes from day one.
Appointed in 2022, we deployed RPO1 –  the embedded recruitment model that combines digital efficiency with human precision.
Our team delivered:

  • ATS implementation and process design
  • Stakeholder engagement and EVP collateral
    Fully digital approval workflows via Vencuro
  • Enhanced attraction through PR campaigns, branded landing pages, and diversity partnerships

The results

  • 425 new colleagues onboarded since 2022
  • 567 vacancies filled across 301 roles
  • 26-day average time-to-offer
  • <0.25% pre-start attrition rate
  • 87.2% fulfilment rate
  • Increased female and ethnic minority representation
