About the employer

Shepley Engineers were founded in Manchester on 8th January 1948, and has had a permanent presence at Sellafield since that time. In that very year we were responsible for the installation of stainless ducting systems on the Windscale Reactors, and the early 1950’s with the commissioning of the world’s first commercial nuclear power station at Calder Hall. In the early 2000's we went through a growth period and acquired our two wholly owned subsidiaries, PPS Electrical and West Cumberland Engineering, to increase our capability and build one of the largest skilled pool of trade resource in the whole UK nuclear sector. Our range of service offering means that we are engaged in a number of capacities from main contractor to sub-contractor and in some instances as advisor and consultant. We work individually or in collaboration with complimentary service providers or partners and a significant proportion of our current workload is delivered via long term framework agreements. It has been necessary to develop our processes, systems and culture to be effective and responsive across the full range of these engagement.
