This is a remote position.

We are the exclusive recruitment partners for a leading international consultancy at the forefront of enabling disruptive energy technology scale-up. They specialise in advising clients from research institutes to private innovators and public agencies on how to bring emerging nuclear technologies (both fusion and advanced fission) into commercial reality.

This is a unique role for a seasoned consultant who can combine deep technical understanding, strategic acumen and commercial insight to help shape market opportunities for next-generation nuclear energy systems.


Your Role

As a Senior Management Consultant focused on commercialisation strategy, you will:


  • Lead large-and-complex engagements with clients across the nuclear ecosystem (technology developers, governments, investors, research organisations) to define and implement market-entry, business model and commercialisation strategies for advanced nuclear technologies.
  • Develop and own deliverables such as technology roadmaps, go-to-market plans, competitive landscaping, value-chain assessments, business case modelling and partner/ customer ecosystem strategies.
  • Act as the primary client interface and senior consultant: scoping projects, managing delivery teams, mentoring junior consultants, ensuring successful outcomes.
  • Translate high-level macro trends (e.g., energy transition, policy/regulation, export markets) into actionable commercial pathways and strategic recommendations.
  • Engage with multi-disciplinary teams spanning technical, regulatory, investment, business development and stakeholder management disciplines.
  • Work remotely across time-zones as part of a global project-delivery framework.


Requirements

  • A STEM-oriented degree (e.g., engineering, physics, applied sciences) and demonstrable consulting (or equivalent) experience in strategy, commercialisation or business development for technology heavy-sectors.
  • Demonstrable experience in translating technical innovation into commercial reality: developing business models, market assessments, value chain mapping, and partnering strategies in regulated/high-complexity markets.
  • You understand the nuclear/energy technology ecosystem (ideally including fusion or advanced fission) though you don’t necessarily need to be a reactor-designer. You should be comfortable navigating technology, regulatory, policy and investment dimensions.
  • You are comfortable with ambiguity, thrive in fast-moving, mission-driven environments, and can switch between “zoom-out” strategic thinking and “zoom-in” granular execution.
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement and leadership skills: you’ll present to senior clients, lead teams, build collaboration across functions, and write clearly.
  • You are eligible to work in the UK/Europe (and potentially globally, depending on client requirements).


Benefits

  • A meaningful role with high visibility: you’ll help shape commercial strategy for technologies that could reshape the energy system.
  • Autonomy and flexibility: remote working, flexible hours, global client base.
  • Career growth: you’ll mentor others, lead engagements, and build expertise at the cutting edge of nuclear and clean-tech commercialisation.
  • A culture of purpose: teaming with experienced professionals who care about technology, sustainability and impact.
  • Competitive remuneration and potential performance-based incentives (details to be discussed at offer stage).

UAV & Drone Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK UAV (uncrewed aerial vehicle) and drone jobs market is maturing fast. The “shiny new toy” phase is over. Public expectations and regulation are tougher, budgets are more closely scrutinised, and clients want measurable outcomes – safer inspections, faster data, lower costs, better evidence – not just impressive footage. At the same time, demand for UAV services in infrastructure inspection, construction, energy, agriculture, emergency response, defence and media continues to grow. Long-term trends like asset digitisation, smart cities, and net-zero infrastructure all rely on high-quality aerial data and remote operations. The result: fewer opportunistic one-off drone gigs, and more emphasis on professional UAV operations, data workflows and compliant, scalable services. Whether you’re: A job seeker looking for “UAV jobs in the UK”, “drone pilot jobs UK”, or “remote UAS operator roles”, or A recruiter or hiring manager trying to understand “UAV hiring trends 2026” and “how to hire drone pilots and UAS engineers”, …this guide breaks down what’s changing – and what to do about it.

UAV (Drones) Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK unmanned aviation (UAV/UAS/RPAS) hiring has shifted from aircraft‑type buzzwords to capability‑driven evaluation across flight ops, autonomy, data products, safety & regulatory compliance. Employers want proof you can plan, fly, analyse and scale UAV systems safely and economically—VLOS/A2 CofC, GVC, BVLOS & SORA ops, UTM integrations, command‑and‑control resilience, sense‑and‑avoid, payload pipelines, and fleet reliability. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for UAV pilots/ops managers, flight test engineers, autonomy/perception, GNC/control, UTM/backend, safety & airworthiness, data processing/analysis, and field engineering roles. Who this is for: UAV pilots & flight ops, mission planners, flight test & safety engineers, autonomy/SLAM/perception, GNC/control engineers, embedded/avionics, communications & C2 links, UTM/airspace integrations, data processing (imagery/LiDAR/thermal), GIS/photogrammetry, maintenance & field techs, and programme/product managers in the UK.

Why UAV (Drone) Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have seen rapid adoption across sectors in the UK — agriculture, logistics, inspection, mapping, delivery, search & rescue, environmental monitoring, media, defence, and more. As UAV use proliferates, the roles supporting them are shifting. Modern UAV careers are no longer just about aerodynamics, electronics or autopilot algorithms. They now require knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design — because flying machines in public airspace must be safe, trusted, legal, intuitive and well communicated. In this article, we’ll explore why UAV careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with UAV work, and what job-seekers & employers should do to adapt.
