Description
Orano Projects, a French company specialised in nuclear fuel cycle engineering, announced a plan to create 500 engineering and general installation technicians positions in Dijon. The expansion targets the engineering unit in Dijon and the adjacent Valduc site. The move is driven by the revival of France’s nuclear sector, requiring additional civil, mechanical and safety expertise. This initiative supports Orano’s strategy to secure long-term nuclear fuel supply and strengthen its engineering capabilities.
Orano project already opened 700 positions in 2026 in Dijon and Valduc: Orano 2026 - FR.
These campaigns are part of Orano's goal to reach 10,000 people staff in the year of 2026.
