Associate Project Management Apprenticeship

Sizewell C. The power of good for Britain.

The Opportunity

If you are looking to kick start a career that is rewarding, where you can really make a difference, then come join our Associate Project Management Apprenticeship. You will work on one of the most exciting and significant sustainable energy projects that our country has ever seen, being at the forefront of the UK’s climate change agenda and energy policy. Sizewell C is a nuclear new build project in Suffolk. When completed, it will provide dependable electricity to 6 million homes for at least 60 years.

We’re recruiting for apprentices to join our Associate Project Management training programme, working as part of some of the most exciting projects at EDF.

Here at EDF you’ll support and engage with different parts of the organisation and interact with internal or external customers. With a focus on adding value, your role contributes to the efficiency of an organisation, through support of functional areas, working across teams and resolving issues as requested. The flexibility and responsiveness required will allow you to develop a wide range of skills.

During the training programme your time will be split between studying at college and learning on the job in our business. 

You’ll attend the National College for Nuclear in Cannington, Somerset, one day a month and study remotely. 

You’ll have plenty of support along the way too – from your Tutors at National College for Nuclear, to your EDF Line Manager and our Early Careers team; as well as face-to-face support at our on-site Apprentice Hub and digital access to relevant information, learning and care.

What we’re looking for 

• Five GCSEs in the A* to C or 9 to 4 range including English and Maths, or a relevant Level 2 qualification.
• A Level 3 qualification (A-Level, BTEC, Apprenticeship)
• You'll be self-motivated with a desire to learn and develop.
• You'll have the ability to work in a team and independently, as well as being able to balance the responsibilities of study and work.

You will need to meet the requirements for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least 3 of the last 5 years.

Competitive Salary And Benefits

We’re dedicated to offering flexible benefits that support our people across all aspects of their lives and we’re delighted to offer a range of benefits to support our employees’ physical, emotional and financial wellbeing.

Sizewell C Limited (Sizewell C) is nuclear site licensed company whose business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure at Sizewell C in Suffolk. Sizewell C was formerly under the majority ownership of the EDF Group but is currently majority owned by HM Government and operates as an independent company. EDF remains a key shareholder in Sizewell C and the business therefore maintains close links to EDF as a part of its ‘nuclear family’.

As a Sizewell C employee, you may wonder why you are contacted by colleagues with an EDF email or see the EDF logo on portals that you access and/or documentation you receive; this is because we have partnered with EDF for the provision of a number of support services whilst we complete a successful transition out of the EDF group.
