Fleet provides some of the industry’s leading technical experts with experience in a wide range of instrumentation and metering/control experience gained across the energy sector utilising the latest technology. Although originally established to provide technical services within the global oil and gas sectors covering offshore and onshore facilities, oil storage locations, offload vessels and water treatment plants.
Fleet has branched from into the nuclear and renewables sectors providing technical services covering, alongside our traditional oil and gas offering – specifically:
Nuclear
- Nuclear Power Plants (NPP’s)
- Nuclear Fuel and Waste Facilities
- SMA’s & AMR’s
Renewables
- Wind Infrastructure (both Offshore and Onshore)
- Solar & Thermal Plants
- Hydroelectric Facilities
- Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
- Green (and Blue) Hydrogen Plants
Expertise includes:
- EC&I & Instrumentation Across the Energy Sector;
Connecting specialist engineering talent across Oil & Gas, Nuclear and the wider energy industry; - Electrical, Control & Instrumentation (EC&I) engineering plays a critical role in the safe, efficient and reliable operation of energy infrastructure;
- With significant technical crossover between Oil & Gas and Nuclear, we recognise the value of transferable engineering expertise across both sectors
- From complex control systems and process instrumentation to electrical infrastructure, functional safety and commissioning, many of the core engineering principles and technologies remain closely aligned.
Nuclear EC&I
We support the identification and recruitment of experienced EC&I professionals for nuclear projects, drawing on engineering expertise from both the nuclear and wider energy sectors.
Fleet’s focus includes:
- Calibration and Testing
- Electrical Engineering: Power distribution, electrical design and infrastructure.
- Control Systems: PLC, SCADA, DCS and industrial automation.
- Instrumentation: Process measurement, calibration and monitoring systems.
- Functional Safety: Safety-related systems, protection and control.
- Commissioning & Maintenance: Testing, installation, fault-finding and operational reliability.
Nuclear Specific
- Nuclear Instrumentation Systems (NIS): Maintaining specialized radiation detectors (e.g., neutron flux detectors, fission chambers, intermediate and power-range monitors) used to monitor reactor core activity.
- Safety Systems & Interlocks: Servicing safety-critical trip logic systems, Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS), and containment isolation instruments where failure or drift is non-negotiable.
- Harsh Environment Instrumentation: Installing and maintaining sensors rated for high-radiation, high-pressure, and high-temperature environments (e.g., reactor pressure vessels, primary cooling loops).
- Quality Assurance & Compliance: Documenting every calibration step with full traceability to satisfy nuclear regulators (such as the ONR in the UK or NRC in the US).
Renewables Specific
- Wind Energy (Onshore & Offshore):
- Servicing anemometers, wind vanes, and LiDAR/SoDAR units used for nacelle positioning and power curve verification. Maintaining condition monitoring sensors (vibration, oil condition, thermal imaging) on gearboxes, main bearings, and generators.
- Solar PV & Thermal:
- Calibrating pyranometers and reference cells that measure solar irradiance.
- Servicing string monitoring equipment, inverter control units, and tracker position sensors.
- Grid Connection & Power Quality: Maintaining high-voltage revenue meters, power quality analysers, and grid synchronizing equipment required by system operators.
- Remote & Harsh Environments: Servicing remote telemetry units (RTUs) and satellite/cellular communication links for uncrewed assets, often requiring offshore certifications (e.g., GWO) or rope access.
- Hydrogen & Battery Storage (BESS): Calibrating gas detection instruments (e.g., leak sensors), flow meters for electrolyzers, and battery management system (BMS) voltage/temperature sensors.
Bridging the Oil & Gas and Nuclear & Renewables Sectors
Engineers with backgrounds in Oil & Gas often possess highly transferable skills developed within complex, safety-critical and heavily regulated environments.
By recognising these technical similarities, we help broaden the available talent pool for nuclear projects while creating opportunities for experienced engineers to transition into the sector.
Our approach combines an understanding of specialist EC&I disciplines with an appreciation of the additional regulatory, safety and quality requirements specific to nuclear engineering.
