• Rotating across business areas to gain wider commercial insight.
• Working on live projects that deliver tangible benefits to Sizewell C.

Your Work Location

Whilst you will be based at our Sizewell C Bristol office with placements of 6-12 months, you may also be required to travel to another location for your placements, to support other business units and to expand your knowledge and experience of the Nuclear Industry.

Please note that this programme is rotational in its nature, so you will be required to move around.

Who You Are

• To be eligible for this Sizewell C graduate programme, you will need to have achieved, or be expecting to achieve, a Bachelor's or Masters degree (2:2 or higher) in disciplines such as supply chain and logistics, business management, economics, mathematics, finance or geography.

Be Your Best

Mastery, learning and standards

• We grow expertise and share knowledge across the programme

Be True

• We name trade offs openly rather than smoothing them over

• We include others early, before decisions are made
• We solve problems collectively across boundaries

Security Vetting

About the Company

When joining Sizewell C, 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.

At Sizewell C we encourage and embrace diversity and how it can improve our experience and performance at work. It is a requirement that those who join us have the right to work in the UK. Whilst sponsorship may be a possibility that we can explore, we are fully committed to local recruitment where possible, and those already holding the right to work in the UK.
