Job Description

Our two-year Graduate Programme is designed to get you up to speed quickly, give you exposure to live projects, and help you develop both technical and professional skills.

You’ll benefit from:

• Access to mentors and technical experts

• Peer-to-peer learning through Graduate Forums

• An upskilling framework tailored to your development

• The opportunity to rotate across industries, customers, and locations

Over the two-year self-directed programme, you’ll gain a unique insight into the nuclear industry. This starts with broad exposure across teams and customers and evolves into discipline-focused work that aligns with your career ambitions. Within our programme, there will be opportunities to rotate through different teams and projects to help grow your knowledge, skills and behaviours. 

My profile

We’re looking for graduates who have (or are expecting) a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a closely related discipline and who are keen to develop a career in Simulation & Assessment engineering within highly regulated industries.

If you enjoy applying engineering fundamentals to assess the fitness for purpose of components, assemblies, and systems, have a strong interest in analytical problem-solving, and are curious about how calculations underpin safe and robust designs, this could be an excellent next step for you.

To join our Graduate Scheme, you must be a UK sole national and a UK resident, as this is required for the type of work we do. You’ll also need to be able to obtain a minimum of Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearance, with some roles requiring higher levels of clearance.

As part of the programme, you should also be willing to relocate or travel within the UK, and we’ll provide relocation support where needed. More information on the security vetting process and clearance levels can be found on the UK Government website: National Security Vetting: clearance levels
