Critical infrastructure services: engineering, construction, and nuclear decommissioning
Altrad operates a large, distributed services business spanning design, engineering, construction, and asset decommissioning across onshore and offshore infrastructure. The tech stack is mature and heavy on desktop engineering tools (AutoCAD, ANSYS, Aveva E3D, Primavera P6) paired with enterprise resource planning (SAP, Oracle), signaling a capital-projects organization rather than a software company. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 92 roles posted in the last 30 days, concentrated heavily in engineering—a mix that reflects active delivery against major multi-year infrastructure contracts, including nuclear decommissioning work and long-term public-private partnerships.
Notable leadership hires: Quality Lead, Project Director, Industrial Relations Lead
Altrad UK, Ireland & Nordics is a privately held industrial services firm headquartered in Goldthorpe, England, employing over 10,000 people across the region. The company provides full-spectrum critical services to infrastructure sectors: consulting, design, engineering, construction, and asset life optimization through decommissioning. Work spans both onshore and offshore operations. Notable active projects include a 20-year public-private partnership consortium, major nuclear decommissioning initiatives (including legacy infrastructure at Sellafield), and site-based technical investigations. The organization prioritizes safety and regulatory compliance in complex, live operational environments—a profile typical of regulated, long-duration contract work in energy and infrastructure.
CAD and 3D design (AutoCAD, Aveva E3D, DIALux), structural analysis (ANSYS), project controls (Primavera P6, Microsoft Project), enterprise resource planning (SAP, Oracle), and business intelligence (Power BI). CNC and PLC systems for manufacturing and control.
Major projects include a 20-year public-private partnership consortium, nuclear decommissioning initiatives (Sellafield, legacy infrastructure), site investigations for structural and vibration issues, and independent technical reviews. Quality and HSE (health, safety, environment) performance improvement is also a stated priority.
