You’ll also help with fire and operational risk assessments, and collaborate with corporate Health, Safety & Environmental teams. Additionally, you’ll gain experience working on client contracts with organisations like EDF Energy and Sellafield, and engage with wider industry through safety forums and committees.

There’ll be opportunities to rotate across different teams and projects, including our Safety, Health, Environment and Radiation Protection function, where you’ll gain insight into governance, assurance and compliance. You’ll be encouraged to build your confidence, develop your communication skills and learn how to provide trusted, professional safety advice to a wide range of stakeholders.

Throughout your journey, you’ll be supported by experienced mentors who will help you grow both personally and professionally, preparing you for a rewarding future in the world of health, safety and environment.

As part of this apprenticeship, you will embark on a structured learning journey that combines classroom-based instruction with flexible e-learning modules.
