Career opportunities in the Paks II. Project

4/10/26, 2:56 PM
Both career starters and those with decades of experience can join the Paks II. team of professionals. You can also learn about current opportunities at the spring job fairs.

For years and this year too, those starting their careers or planning a career change can meet the stand and staff of Paks II. Ltd. at the job fairs of BME, Óbuda University, Pannon University, Dunaújváros University and at Pollack Expo. – We regularly receive inquiries from various educational institutions, whether it is about appearing at a job fair, delivering a lecture at a vocational college or participating in an academic competition, and in such cases first we examine whether the given event fits our profile or not – said Áron Benedek, HR director of Paks II. Ltd. In order to arouse the interest of the younger generation -  those still in secondary school or even primary school -  in the project and the diverse professional opportunities inherent in the energy sector, Paks II. Ltd. will be there for the first time this year, for example, at the Tolna County Vocational Centre „Hello spring! Hello profession!” – Career orientation family day.



 Áron Benedek reminded that on the paks2.hu career page one can  choose from dozens of jobs, but it is not only worth applying for specific positions. By uploading his or her CV, the applicant is added to the database, which may open up an opportunity for such job openings that he or she might not have applied for themselves.. – The Contractor and its subcontractors work on the work site, and Paks II. Ltd., fulfilling its role as a licensee, provides a strong background team, which primarily checks and approves the large amount of design documentation and maintains intensive contacts with the specialized authorities. Accordingly, we are looking mostly for employees in technical areas, in addition to the support areas that exist in most large companies, e.g. finance, IT, law – he underlined.

The six-storey building will have a total usable floor area of 15,000 square metres. It will accommodate classrooms for training operating personnel, as well as simulators, including a full-scope simulator, an analytical simulator and a refuelling machine simulator.

Preparatory work for the foundations of the Training Centre is currently under way. By the end of the year, the structural works carried out by a consortium of Hungarian companies are expected to reach ground level. According to the schedule, the building will reach its structural completion by August 2027, and one year later the technical handover process and installation of the simulators — the manufacture of which has already begun — can be started.

At the centre, various simulators using realistic software and hardware will enable the safe modelling of both normal and abnormal operating processes, which is highly beneficial for the practical training of future staff. The full-scope simulator is a realistic replica of the main control room, while the analytical simulator supports skills development through touchscreen panels. The refuelling machine simulator is required because, unlike in the existing units, tasks related to fuel handling cannot be practised in the reactor hall during normal operation.
