About the Role

Looking to shape the future of energy while building a career that's unique to you? At EDF, Success is Personal. You'll learn from experts, develop valuable commercial and procurement skills, and build a career that helps Britain achieve net zero.

The Opportunity
Alongside earning a salary of £35,000 per annum, you'll join our two-year Supply Chain Graduate Programme, expected to begin in September 2027. From day one, you'll become part of our graduate community and start building a career that sits at the heart of one of the UK's most critical industries.

As part of the programme, you'll work towards a fully funded CIPS Level 4 Diploma in Procurement and Supply, developing the professional knowledge and practical experience needed to thrive in a commercial supply chain environment.

Over the course of the scheme, you'll gain experience across multiple areas of EDF's Nuclear business, including Hinkley Point C, Nuclear Operations and our central Supply Chain teams. You'll develop an understanding of procurement, contract management, supplier relationships, forecasting, strategic sourcing and commercial delivery, while contributing to projects that support the UK's transition to a low-carbon future.

You'll have opportunities to work across a variety of locations, building a broad network and gaining insight into different parts of the business. Every placement is designed to help you grow professionally while making a meaningful contribution to EDF's mission.

What You'll Experience
No two placements are the same. Throughout the programme, you'll work alongside procurement specialists, commercial managers, contract managers and supply chain professionals who play a vital role in delivering major projects and supporting EDF's operating nuclear fleet.

You'll gain hands-on experience while developing skills in:

• Procurement and sourcing activities

• Contract management and administration

• Supplier performance and relationship management

• Cost forecasting and commercial analysis

• Stakeholder engagement and collaboration

• Strategic supply chain planning

• Commercial decision-making and problem solving

You'll take on real responsibility from the beginning, working on live projects that have a direct impact on the success of EDF's operations and major infrastructure programmes. Along the way, you'll receive structured learning, mentoring and support to help you reach your full potential.

The variety of placements will help you discover where your interests lie while developing the confidence, commercial awareness and professional network needed for a successful long-term career.
