Thanks for that information, I was kind of under the impression that a deconner position was the main "foot in the door" job.

I appreciate the replies and the help from both of you, thank you very much

Retirements Among Existing Work Force 
About half the nuclear industry's work force will be eligible to retire during the next 10 years. Along with plans for industry growth, the expected attrition of a large portion of the industry’s total work force has prompted an unprecedented recruitment effort throughout the industry.

Half of the workforce? wow, great time to get ready to get in then!

Ive been calling companies, the only companies I know of are Bartlett, Shaw Group, Babcock, and DZ Atlantic. Of those four, only Bartlett will let you speak directly to a recruiter about outage work, the rest only go through profiles online.

Are there any other companies that Im missing that I could perhaps call? I'm trying to get as many options as possible

"Neither of us has real experience in this field, but we are trying to get our foot in the door and do the traveling roadtech thing."

I strongly suggest the college route unless you expand your search to contract craft/union postions.

DZ Atlantic has a recruiter for each site. If you want to work at a specific site you will have to get their site phone number. This is easier to do if you know someone who works at the plant. If you do not know anyone at the plant it makes getting in much harder. In my opinion, contacting the site recruiter and having someone onsite go to bat for you is the best way to get started. If you live near a nuke plant, chances are you know someone who works there.
