University jobs in United Kingdom

At E.ON, we’re more than a provider of gas and electricity, we’re shaping a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. Join us as an apprentice and you’ll play an important role in helping our customers take control of their energy use, whether that’s at home, in their business or as part of a city community.

Embark on a four-year project management apprenticeship and you’ll be supporting business growth with large investment across various technologies, with a keen focus on digitisation, sustainability and innovation. The role of a project manager is designed to enable this investment and create structure and ensure delivery for the future of our energy needs. You’ll work with diverse teams across the business through six-month placements while studying part-time at York St John University for a fully-funded BSc (Hons) in Project Management.

During the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to select placements based on your current university modules and course requirements, as well as your interests and career goals, like:

• Working closely with our change management experts to identify areas of improvement, implement innovative solutions and drive organisational change.
• Supporting the day to day running of the business including our customer service teams and parts of the business that run our energy centres and power generation sites and deliver our energy efficiency measures.
• Managing budgets (control of spending and costs), financial and strategic planning to support the future of our business.
• Gaining practical experience in construction and installation projects, getting involved in onsite activity and working with installation and existing project managers.
• Building relationships with stakeholders including leadership teams and mentors and bringing new ideas into the business.

• GCSE maths and English language at grade C/5
• Minimum of 3 A-Levels at grades BBB or equivalent T-Level qualification or BTEC at DDM

• Across your placements you’ll have 20% of your working week dedicated to study and will attend a two-day workshop at York St John University every 10 weeks. This will support your educational studies and provide focus time for academic studies.
• Your base location will be our Nottingham office. We operate a hybrid working model, so depending on placements you will be expected in the office 1-3 days a week, with the flexibility to work from home on other days. Company-funded travel will be required, and you may have placement opportunities at other E.ON sites across the UK.
• We offer a starting salary of £21,500, with potential for pay progression throughout your apprenticeship based on academic and placement performance.
• You may only apply for one E.ON degree/level 7 apprenticeship scheme, so please choose the one that best aligns with your career goals.

An apprenticeship at E.ON isn’t just about gaining hands-on experience in the workplace, it’s about unlocking your potential and helping you develop into a qualified professional. From day one you’ll be supported by E.ON’s early careers team, your mentor and a buddy from a previous apprenticeship scheme to ensure your journey is as rewarding as it is impactful. And you’ll be joining an award-winning apprenticeship programme, within a diverse and inclusive workplace where your contributions are valued and recognised.

• Award-Winning Workplace - We’re proud to be named a Sunday Times Best Place to Work 2025 and the Best Place to Work for 16-34-year-olds.
