"Electricity is such a vital component in everyone's lives. It powers schools, businesses and hospitals, so I knew that if I did my placement within EDF then I would have a really large impact on society, and that made my placement a lot more fulfilling. Priyanka, Science and Engineering Industrial Placement."

The Opportunity

This 12-month placement offers a starting salary of £26,050 and the chance to work on site at #Heysham 1.

You'll launch your career as a Project Engineer/Project Manager with our customised training programme. Taking on a real job at a junior level, you'll gain invaluable hands‑on experience while being mentored by highly skilled professionals.

You'll help shape how we deliver projects and be involved with designing, planning and delivering work. You'll also gain experience in team working, problem solving, and using human performance tools, with opportunities to experience plant operations and explore other areas of interest.

What You'll Experience

During your Project Delivery Industrial Placement, you'll gain an understanding of how multi million pound projects are delivered from concept, through design and to execution. You'll learn about systems vital to the smooth operation of a Nuclear Power Station, including safety protocols, technical governance, quality assurance, analysis, communication strategies, and IT systems.

Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to further develop Planning & Project Management skills, to build and develop a network to allow successful delivery of work packages.

Your Work Location

You'll be based on site at #Heysham 1 Power Station, within the Project Delivery team.
