About the role

The RWE FlexGen Graduate scheme provides the perfect blend of training and competency development; including the technical, practical and business skills needed to be an engineer for today and tomorrow!

During the scheme you will shape your career through delivering on key engineering projects at our Biomass, Gas, Hydro or Hydrogen assets. You will be required to undertake the following rotations/placements:

• A shift on a power generating asset.
• During an outage at a power station.
• A short rotation in the safety department.
• A rotation with a commercial focus, in our RWE Supply and Trading business or something similar.

Your other rotations can be chosen by yourself, with the support of your buddy – a former or existing RWE Graduate, and your Mentor – a Senior Leader in the business. You will have the freedom and support to build your programme in a way that maximises your development and knowledge.

You will have a base location, which will be where you start your programme. However, your rotations could be anywhere domestically or Internationally in the RWE Generation Portfolio. A willingness to travel and expose yourself to new opportunities is therefore essential. Whilst you are travelling away from your base location, we will financially support you with accommodation and other costs, as well as providing pastoral support.

As well as on-the-job training, you will undertake a series of technical and non-technical trainings with the rest of your International Graduate cohort. This combination of academic learning, practical skill development and non-technical training will prepare you for a future role as an Engineer with us!
