Nuclear and renewable infrastructure engineering for the energy transition
Assystem is a public engineering firm with 8,000 staff across 13 countries, anchored in nuclear but expanding into renewables, hydrogen, and grid modernization. The tech stack reveals a traditional infrastructure practice—ANSYS, PDMS, BIM, Primavera P6, CAD tools—now actively adopting digital twins (BIM, PLM) and cloud analytics (Databricks, Power BI). Hiring is heavily engineering-skewed (840 engineers vs. 57 across sales, data, and product combined) and accelerating, with active recruitment across Europe, Middle East, and Asia, signaling project pipeline growth.
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead Designer, Lead Auditor, Social Value Lead, Structure Lead, Team Lead
Assystem designs, engineers, and supervises large-scale infrastructure projects in nuclear energy, renewables, hydrogen, and transport. The company operates across the full project lifecycle—from concept through construction supervision—and is broadening into digital transformation consulting for industrial customers. Major clients include state utilities, nuclear operators, and system integrators (EDF, Framatome, Naval Group, ITER, Rolls Royce, among others). Current project work spans new-build reactors (EPR2, Hinkley Point C, Sizewell C), modular nuclear, small reactors (SMR), fluid systems, rail infrastructure, and electrical grid modernization. The firm is headquartered in France and operates as a public company.
Engineering-focused: ANSYS (simulation), PDMS/Revit/AutoCAD (design), Primavera P6/Microsoft Project (scheduling), IBM DOORS (requirements), Java/Angular (development), PostgreSQL/MySQL (databases), AWS (cloud), Power BI (analytics), and SharePoint (collaboration). Now adopting BIM and PLM.
