Nuclear

Finding the right talent in the nuclear sector is tough. An aging workforce, combined with fierce competition for skilled professionals, puts pressure on securing top talent quickly. On top of this, complex regulations and compliance requirements make recruitment even harder, while younger generations often overlook careers in the nuclear industry, shrinking your talent pool.


Challenges we can help you with

1Difficulty Finding Talent with Specialist Skills
The nuclear industry demands highly skilled professionals, but the talent pool is limited, and competition is fierce. To stay ahead, it’s essential not only to secure top talent quickly but also to invest in expanding the talent pool through targeted training and development.
2Using Your Brand to Attract Future Team Candidates
Your brand can often be overlooked as a candidate attraction tool. By showcasing what makes your company special, you can bring in professionals who share your vision and values.
3Arduous and Prolonged Recruitment Processes
Long hiring processes can slow things down, damage your brand and make you loose good candidates.Cutting background checks from 8 weeks to 8 days, we can speed up hiring and get your new team members in place faster.
4Missing Project Deliverables and Programme Deadlines
Too many projects get delayed because the right people aren’t in place when needed. Already managing 1,800 contingent workers across every licensed UK nuclear site, we’ll get the talent you need on time to meet every deadline.

Building a Renewable Future: How Rullion Supports EDF Renewables with Specialist Talent

Building a Renewable Future: How Rullion Supports EDF Renewables with Specialist Talent

The renewable energy industry is growing at pace, with large-scale offshore and onshore wind projects, solar farms, and hydrogen initiatives playing a critical role in the UK’s journey to net zero. However, securing the right talent to drive these projects forward remains one of the biggest challenges facing the sector. The Challenge: A Competitive Market for Green Energy Skills As the UK expands its renewable energy capacity, competition for specialist engineering and technical skills is intensifying. EDF Renewables, a key player in the sector, requires a steady pipeline of skilled professionals to support their projects across offshore wind, onshore wind, and other clean energy initiatives. With remote project locations, emerging skills gaps, and tight hiring timeframes, EDF needed a workforce solutions partner with deep expertise in both renewables and the wider critical infrastructure sector. That’s where Rullion comes in. The Solution: A Strategic Partnership with Rullion As EDF’s long-term Managed Service Provider (MSP), Rullion has helped ensure workforce fulfilment across their clean energy projects. Our approach includes: Proactive Talent Pipelining – Ensuring EDF has access to the right talent at the right time, redeploying skilled workers across different phases of their projects. Industry Expertise – A dedicated renewables recruitment team that understands the sector’s unique workforce challenges and opportunities, leveraging Rullion’s experience in delivering workforce solutions for the UK’s critical infrastructure sector. Blended Sourcing Model – Using a combination of direct hiring, specialist supplier partnerships, and global talent attraction to meet EDF’s evolving needs. STEM Talent Development – Engaging with local communities and educational initiatives to inspire the next generation of renewable energy professionals. The Impact: Powering EDF’s Key Projects From offshore wind farms to large-scale solar and hydrogen projects, Rullion has been instrumental in ensuring EDF has the skilled workforce needed to deliver on its clean energy ambitions. Neart na Gaoithe (NNG) Wind Farm – One of the UK’s largest offshore wind projects, where Rullion has provided specialist talent from pre-construction through to commissioning. Gwynt Glas Wind Farm – A major offshore wind development requiring strategic workforce planning for its early phases. Codling Wind Park – Set to be one of Ireland’s largest offshore wind farms, where Rullion is securing critical engineering expertise. Helping You Get Work Done in the Renewable Sector As the transition to net zero accelerates, the demand for renewable energy talent will continue to grow. Through our strategic workforce solutions, deep sector expertise, and commitment to talent development, Rullion is ensuring that energy leaders like EDF can meet their hiring needs today while preparing for the workforce demands of the future.

The passing of Themis Saoulli, Rullion Founder and former Chairman

The passing of Themis Saoulli, Rullion Founder and former Chairman

Themis Saoulli, Rullion Founder and former Chairman Born: November 16, 1941 in Cairo, Egypt Died: May 2, 2024 in Nicosia, Cyprus age 82 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved founder and former Chairman, Themis Saoulli. Themis died at his home in Nicosia, Cyprus on Thursday 2nd May 2024. He was surrounded by close family. An entrepreneur and a visionary, Themis founded Rullion, in 1978 with his wife, Jean. At the time the couple were in Libya and Themis saw an opportunity to supply engineering staff to American and British companies out there. Over the next four decades, under Themis’ leadership, what started out as a company with just three employees, Rullion grew exponentially into the UK’s 16th largest recruitment company, with a turnover of just under half a billion pounds, and an organisation known for its specialisms within the engineering and technology sectors. Described as “a force of nature and a true gentleman”, Themis was an inspiration to the many people who worked closely with him. He was a larger-than-life personality, with a kind and generous nature, and had the uncanny propensity to inspire, terrify and make people laugh, all in equal measure, and often in the space of the same meeting! But as Themis always said of himself, his bark was worse than his bite. Born to Greek parents in Cairo, Egypt, Themis’ ethos was to create an organisation that builds and nurtures relationships, by putting people first, and today Rullion works with some of the biggest household names in the UK across multiple industries and disciplines, including nuclear, utilities, retail, rail, and non-banking financial services to construction and infrastructure, IT/technology, professional services and renewables. Themis is survived by his wife, three children and four grandchildren
