About

Our mission is to provide high quality technical solutions with an emphasis on creativity and innovation. We achieve this by being an exemplary employer of talented individuals.

history

Cerberus Nuclear was founded in late 2016 and began trading in February 2017. Craig, Dan and Stewart had worked for various nuclear licenced sites, consultancies and as self-employed contractors and wanted to create a consultancy that would go about things in a different way – one that specialised in its chosen fields, was client focussed, and was a great place to work, but also one that genuinely invested in and encouraged research and development.

Tom Page joined the company as a 4th director in April 2018, closely followed by our first employee, Carl Hughes in October 2018. Since then, the company has grown steadily. As well as attracting experienced assessors, graduate recruitment has played a key role in the growth of the company.

In 2020 we introduced an Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) scheme, which rewarded our employees with shares in Cerberus, making us an ‘employee owned’ company.
