Our two-year Graduate Programme is designed to accelerate your career — giving you exposure to live projects, expert mentorship, and the chance to make a real impact from day one. You’ll gain a unique insight into the nuclear industry, with broad exposure across teams and customers before progressing into discipline-focused work aligned with your ambitions. Expect variety, challenge, and growth while contributing to some of the UK’s most significant energy projects.
What you’ll benefit from:
- Access to mentors and technical experts — learn directly from industry leaders.
- Peer-to-peer learning through Graduate Forums — connect, collaborate, and grow together.
- A tailored upskilling framework — develop both your technical and professional skills.
- Rotations across industries, customers, and locations — broaden your perspective and experience.
Responsibilities:
During the two-year self-directed journey, you’ll participate in broad exposure across teams and customers, with progression into more discipline-focused work that aligns with your interests and ambitions. You will contribute to ongoing energy projects in the UK and gain hands-on experience through live projects and rotations.
What We’re Looking For:
We’re seeking graduates (or soon-to-graduate) with a BEng / MEng in Electrical, Electronic, Mechatronic or Power Engineering (or a closely related discipline) who are eager to put theory into practice. Enjoy solving tough technical problems, have a sharp eye for detail, are curious about how digital design, control systems, and automation shape the future of energy, have exposure (or interest) in CAD, BIM, AVEVA or similar tools, communicate clearly and work well in teams, and are motivated to keep learning and grow toward Chartered Engineer status. Bonus points if you already have experience or coursework relevant to nuclear, power systems, or industrial control environments.
Eligibility Requirements:
To join our Graduate Scheme, you must be a UK sole national and a UK resident, as this is required for the type of work we do. You’ll also need to be able to obtain a minimum of Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearance, with some roles requiring higher levels of clearance. You should be willing to relocate or travel within the UK, and we’ll provide relocation support where needed.
Recruitment Process:
After submitting your application, you’ll receive confirmation of next steps. If successful at screening, a member of our recruitment team will call you to discuss: your application and eligibility, your passion for energy transformation, and your knowledge of your chosen discipline. Successful applicants will be invited to attend an in-person assessment centre at one of our UK offices.
Diversity & Inclusion:
We are committed to equal treatment of candidates and foster all forms of diversity within our company. Bringing together people with different backgrounds and perspectives is essential for creating innovative solutions. Skills, talent, and the ability to dare are what matter most. Bring your unique contributions and help us shape the future.
