Amentum recently announced plans to create 3,000 new jobs over the next four years on the back of growth in nuclear power and defence in the U.K. In this interview, WashingtonExec’s Amanda Ziadeh sits down with Jim Blankenhorn, senior vice president and North America business line lead at Amentum, to discuss what these plans entail and the types of roles and skillsets Amentum will be looking for.
Blankenhorn also provided insights on the state of the nuclear resurgence in the U.S., and how President Donald Trump’s recent relevant executive orders aid industry in making the resurgence a reality. Plus, he shares how this commitment expands on Amentum’s existing presence and partnership with U.K.’s nuclear power industry, and how it will strengthen the U.K.–U.S. coordination in the nuclear sector.
