Mactech Energy Group has successfully deployed 2,000 workers to Hinkley Point C, marking a major contribution to the delivery of the UK’s first new nuclear power station in a generation.

Reaching the milestone of 2,000 workers deployed to Hinkley Point C is a proud moment for everyone at Mactech. It reflects the enormous scale of this landmark project and our long-term commitment to developing and mobilising a highly skilled UK workforce capable of delivering the country’s most complex and regulated infrastructure. We’re proud to be playing our part in securing the UK’s low-carbon energy future.

As one of Europe’s largest low-carbon infrastructure projects, Hinkley Point C requires a technically advanced and highly regulated workforce. Since 2017, Mactech has supported the project by supplying skilled personnel across critical scopes including welding, mechanical installation, high-pressure pipework, lifting operations, construction support and specialist nuclear roles. Over 99% of these workers have been sourced from within the UK, directly supporting domestic jobs, skills development and long-term workforce capability.

“This month marks a major milestone for us: our 2,000th professional placed into the nuclear industry. Each placement represents safer sites, stronger teams, and a more resilient energy future.

From our first placement to our 2,000th, one thing hasn’t changed: our commitment to finding the right people with the right skills for one of the world’s most critical industries.  Our success is built on long-term partnerships, with clients who trust us, and candidates who rely on us at pivotal moments in their careers.  We are the leading specialists in nuclear recruitment in the UK, we understand that its people who power the nuclear industry, Mactech finds those people.
