HR Systems Industrial Placement

At EDF UK success is personal. We don’t define it, you do. Join our HR Systems Industrial Placement and you’ll achieve your career goals in the way you want to. All while contributing to our mission to help Britain achieve Net Zero. 

“Being an IP within HRBSST gives great exposure to the vast array of systems and processes utilised by EDF’s HR departments. There are several group projects to get involved with, as well the scope to work independently to resolve issues. I feel as though there is always someone to turn to should I require guidance, and I am provided with support to enhance both my personal and professional development.” Arbaz, HR Systems Industrial Placement
