Our US Pillar draws together a network of over 3,000 current, former, and retired US Navy nuclear power qualified individuals.

Our primary teaming partner is a US based, veteran owned company that is the premier US Navy nuclear power qualified personnel networking, talent management, and career coaching enterprise. Through direct and personalised engagement with each individual candidate, frequent tailored networking events, and the annual Navy Nuclear Power Officer Career Conference, the depth and range of access to talent is unmatched.
