The Opportunity

Get ready to launch your Engineering career with our customised 2-year training programme! You will rotate through exciting placements that are designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed.

You will learn from our experts, gain valuable experience, build your confidence and have the support of a career line manager and placement manager, mentor and buddy throughout your time on the programme.

You will gain exposure to procurement, contract management, forecasting, supplier development and strategic business challenges.

What You Will Be Doing

As a Nuclear Supply Chain Graduate at Sizewell C, you will gain hands‑on experience, develop technical and professional skills, and contribute to meaningful projects that support the UK’s journey to net zero. These may include:

• Supporting procurement and contract administration across our business areas.
• Forecasting contract costs and managing supplier relationships.
• Contributing to strategic sourcing and supply chain transformation.
• 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 one of our Sizewell C offices in Suffolk 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. Other degrees may be considered for strong candidates.

Power in Diversity

Sizewell C is a great place to work. Our ambition is to have a workforce which reflects and benefits the society we are part of and serve. Everyone working at Sizewell C, wherever they are, should help to create and experience the right environment where everyone on the team understands, respects and embraces diversity with a culture where everyone is treated with equal respect and are all given equal access to opportunities. By valuing the different points of view and experiences that having a diverse team brings, and by fostering an inclusive climate, we will create a great place to work. This aligns to our key values:

Be Your Best - Mastery, learning and standards

• We grow expertise and share knowledge across the programme
• We uphold standards as a collective commitment, not a compliance exercise
• We learn from near misses and mistakes and apply those lessons
• We take quality seriously, even when pace and pressure increase

Be True - Truth, courage and stewardship

• We surface risks early, including those that are difficult to raise
• We name trade offs openly rather than smoothing them over
• We treat bad news as valuable information
• We make decisions based on long term stewardship, not short term convenience

Be Together - Partnership, fairness and share ownership

• We listen in ways that lead to visible change
• We hold accountability fairly and consistently
• We include others early, before decisions are made
• We solve problems collectively across boundaries

Security Vetting

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting.

Pay, Benefits and Culture

• Alongside a starting salary of £35,000 per annum, potential for an annual bonus, and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days and more.

Closing date: Sunday 1st November 2026

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.

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.
