Quality Apprenticeship

Quality Apprenticeship Programme

At EDF UK success is personal. We don’t define it, you do. Join our Quality Apprenticeship 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. 

"The energy industry is a great sector to work in, with a diverse range of opportunities and a key role to play in the UK's net-zero carbon targets. The HPC project, spanning construction and nuclear operations, has plenty of interesting and challenging opportunities. I find being part of this team very rewarding." Lucas, Apprentice 

What does this Quality Apprenticeship opportunity offer you?

Here at EDF we are providing you with a sound academic programme which will give apprentices with all abilities and backgrounds the opportunity to attain a Level 4 Quality Practitioner Qualification. 

We'll provide you with the theoretical knowledge and understanding of quality delivery, and help you develop as a critical, reflective thinker and life-long learner with the ability to recognise the value in applying principles to practice.

You’ll be encouraged to see the links between theory and practice in the workplace, and develop knowledge, skills, and behaviours progressively against the Quality Practitioner Qualification.

Pay, benefits and culture

Alongside a starting salary of £23,750 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

We’re talking about everything from electric vehicle leasing to gym membership, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, season ticket loans to enhanced parental leave.

At EDF, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated. 

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. Our commitment is to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, the LGBTQ+ community, people with a disability and colleagues from a disadvantaged background. 

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments. 

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our team members drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. There’s no single definition — it's about individuality. That’s why we give you the freedom to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.
