Our Graduate Programmes

To meet all of the technical and commercial demands of building the UK’s low carbon energy future, we need to develop a new generation of talent right across our business. That’s why we offer so many different Graduate Programmes.

From the engineering challenges of building and running nuclear power stations to the financial, logistical and human aspects of managing an ever-changing business, the scale and scope of our opportunities is enormous. Whichever path you take, expect real responsibility from day one and plenty of exciting twists and turns along the way as you contribute to a better energy future for the whole of the UK.

Nuclear Science & Engineering

If you’re a science or engineering student who wants to become an expert in nuclear power, this is a great way to start. But don’t just take our word for it: eight leading industry associations have also given it their accreditation.

12 months’ intensive training will give you a solid grounding in various aspects of the operation of nuclear power plants. You’ll spend time working in a power station, learning from some of the world’s leading nuclear power specialists, and begin your journey towards chartered status. After a year, you’ll be ready to take on a full-time role and contribute to a low-carbon energy future. So which is the right starting point for you?

Commercial

You may think the majority of graduates who join us come from an engineering background. But the truth is that there are plenty of alternative routes for those whose talents lie in other areas. We have all manner of commercial schemes that introduce bright business minds to exciting opportunities on a series of six-month rotations – giving you the overview and insights to launch a richly rewarding career at the heart of our energy future. 

Each Graduate Programme offers a different introduction to the fast-paced and fascinating business of energy. All of them offer challenging work, rapid progress, extensive training and opportunities to work towards relevant professional qualifications. Which one will you opt for?
