Nuclear Energy Industry is Hiring

Atlanta Journal Constitution - May 31, 2009

Nuclear energy is aggressively hiring! Yes, you read that right. With other industries cutting back and firing workers, this industry needs new talent. "Nuclear energy is undergoing a renaissance worldwide," said John Richardson, president of Enercon Services Inc., an engineering and environmental consulting firm whose Power Generation Services Division is located in Kennesaw... Enercon hired 117 people in the first quarter of 2009, "and we're in the process of hiring another 15 from the Georgia Tech Alumni Career Fair," said Michelle Zerkle, recruitment manager... Besides the necessary engineers and scientists, nuclear plants also need people with electrical, technical and mechanical skills, such as welding, pipe fitters, carpenters and heavy equipment operators. A two-year technical degree in civil engineering or electrical would prepare workers for many jobs. The industry can also use accountants, health physicists, human resource managers, technical writers, computer analysts, safety and protection specialists, and educators.
