Jacobs (NYSE:J) was awarded an extension to its Project Management Resources (PMR) contract with EDF Nuclear Generation , operator of the U.K.'s nuclear power plants. The Jacobs team will continue to support the stations, which account for about 17% of the country's electricity output.
This involves supporting the seven advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) stations, including the transition from generation to defueling, and the long-term operation program for the Sizewell B pressurized water reactor. EDF estimates the April 2022 – March 2024 extension at more than $44 million (£32.5 million).
Now in its seventh year, the PMR contract supports work for more than 150 project management specialists. Jacobs is now recruiting for locations across the U.K. and welcomes those with diverse, non-nuclear experience.
