Nuclear plant components, fuel, and control systems for global utilities
Framatome designs and installs components, fuel, and instrumentation systems for nuclear power plants worldwide. The tech stack reflects capital-intensive manufacturing: heavy CAD/PLM (CATIA, SolidWorks, PDMS), industrial control (Wonderware), and ERP (SAP), with active adoption of PolyWorks, MES, and SAP warehouse/materials modules. Engineering dominance in hiring (510 roles) paired with aggressive manufacturing and ops recruitment (233 combined) suggests major capacity build for next-generation reactor projects and plant retrofits.
Notable leadership hires: Site Team Lead, Technical Lead, Technical Lead Engineer, Nuclear Piping Lead, Logistics Department Head
