Health and Safety Apprentice

About the Role

Ready to start a career that makes a real impact? At EDF, Success is Personal – and together, we’ll help Britain achieve net zero. Join our Health and Safety Apprenticeship and play a vital role in building Hinkley Point C, one of the UK’s most significant sustainable energy projects.

Our Health and Safety Apprenticeship offers a competitive salary and the chance to achieve a Level 3 Safety, Health and Environment Technician qualification – with a focus on health and safety.

This two-year programme combines practical experience with academic learning. You’ll work on the construction of Hinkley Point C in #Somerset – a project that will provide dependable electricity to 6 million homes for at least 60 years.

You’ll complete placements across different teams, gaining insight into health and safety management on a major infrastructure project. Throughout your apprenticeship you will maintain a student IOSH status which will then progress to TechIOSH following successful apprenticeship completion.

You’ll be based at Hinkley Point C in #Somerset, working alongside management and delivery teams to ensure legal and project-specific health and safety requirements are met.

We offer the opportunity to work on a hybrid basis, where applicable, as well as the possibility of travel to other sites for broader exposure.

Delivery of the Level 3 Health and Safety programme will be via remote learning; however, you may occasionally be required to travel to Penshaw View, Sunderland.

Throughout your two years at HPC you will complete your NEBOSH certificate equivalent qualification which allows you to apply what you learn with the college, firsthand on site.

• Supporting the development and review of safe systems of work
• Engaging with teams to embed a strong safety culture
• Learning how health and safety management enhances operations
• Gaining practical experience on one of the UK’s largest infrastructure projects
• Building skills to influence behaviour and promote fairness and inclusion

To be eligible for this EDF apprenticeship programme, you need:

• Five GCSEs at Grade C or above (or Grade 4 and above), including English and Maths
• A genuine interest in health and safety
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• An open-minded, flexible approach and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment

The Assessment Centre will be delivered either virtually or in person. Further details, including the date, will be confirmed in due course.

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the last five years.

Alongside a starting salary of £25,000 per annum and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include customisable benefits such as electric vehicle leasing, discounted gym membership, life assurance, tech vouchers, experience days, and more.
