Nuclear power employment trends to look out for in 2026

nathalia.duarte@airswift.com (Nathalia Duarte) — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:14:58 GMT

The nuclear energy sector is seeing renewed hiring momentum, driven by life extensions of existing plants and new builds. According to the IAEA projections, global nuclear power capacity could double by 2050, reaching between 561 GW and 992 GW.

While salaries remain competitive, the GETI 2026 report shows that pay growth across transitional energy (nuclear and power sectors) is slowing. Skills shortages remain acute, especially in engineering and technical operations, while willingness to relocate has fallen to a new low. At the same time, AI adoption has surged, increasing by 180% since 2024.

Below are the key employment trends shaping nuclear and transitional energy, including the power sector.

Maximising HR efficiency with an Employer of Record

Diyaa Mani — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 08:13:46 GMT

What is the biggest barrier to HR efficiency?

Most HR teams today are stretched thin. Instead of focusing on people, culture, and long‑term strategy, they’re often buried under time‑sensitive tasks like payroll, compliance, and immigration paperwork. All of which come with high risk if mishandled.

One of the most effective solutions is partnering with an Employer of Record (EOR).

An EOR takes on these labour‑intensive HR functions and also helps companies hire globally, test new markets, and scale remote teams, without needing to set up a local legal entity.
