Our expertise

As the largest engineering recruiter in the UK, our diverse candidate pool gives our clients access to unique skills and expertise across new and existing energy markets.

​​Morson has an unrivalled track record of success in specific power, utilities and nuclear recruitment, working with both temporary and permanent personnel.

We have managed innovative, multifaceted searches across key technical areas from initial design and safety studies through detailed design programmes to final plant commissioning, inspection and handover. We have supported a variety of projects across the existing nuclear fleet of stations such as Chapelcross, Bradwell, Trawsfynydd and Hinkley Point that include asset care, lifetime extensions and safety initiatives.

Going beyond the traditional transactional recruitment model, as the race for renewable energy talent ramps up over the coming years, our core differentiator is our access to an extensive skills network across our branches. We use a wide range of attraction techniques, from recruitment team industry knowledge to database and networking, and PR, social and marketing support to help your brand shine.

renewable energy future
Sustaining the future

An industry study we conducted on behalf of our client, Scottish Power, indicated that within the next 10 years, 30-40% of current jobs in the current energy sector and the associated supply chain will not exist and thus will transform into new jobs. We have over 50 years’ experience in sectors such as nuclear and oil & gas and therefore have knowledge of how skills can be transferred, something that will be critical in the coming years. For example, our strong manufacturing experience will add value to organisations designing and building in the UK, especially across the solar and wind markets.

Our decommissioning expertise in both oil and nuclear also plays a pivotal part in the government’s green initiatives, supporting key projects such as Sizewell and Sellafield. We supply within Nuclear Plant Decommissioning and the associated environmental impact studies, through to providing engineering resource support to the waste and re-processing industry at both Sellafield and Dounreay.
