Electrical, Control & Instrumentation Engineering Graduate Programme

Electrical, Control & Instrumentation Engineering Graduate Programme

• Salary: £32,000 per annum
• Programme length: Two years
• Location: Various locations across England, Scotland and Wales
• Degree requirement: Minimum 2:2 in a relevant discipline
• Right to work: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK for the full programme

This is a nationwide rotational programme, not a position based permanently at one location.

You will complete two 12-month placements, which may be based in entirely different parts of the UK. For example, your first placement could be at Dounreay in the north of Scotland and your second at Dungeness in Kent.

Applicants must be genuinely willing and able to travel and relocate anywhere in England, Scotland or Wales. Relocation support will be available where required.

Please only apply if you are comfortable making this level of geographical commitment throughout the programme.

Join a leading organisation within the UK nuclear sector and contribute to some of the country’s most complex and nationally important engineering challenges.

During this two-year graduate programme, you will complete two 12-month placements across different organisations, engineering teams and UK locations. You will gain practical experience while helping to support the safe, secure and sustainable management of the UK’s nuclear legacy.

Alongside your placements, you will participate in a structured graduate development programme designed to strengthen your technical knowledge, professional skills and long-term career prospects.

You will learn from experienced engineers, build a valuable professional network and gain broad exposure to engineering within highly regulated, safety-critical environments.

As an Electrical, Control and Instrumentation Engineering Graduate, you will help support the electrical systems, control technologies and instrumentation used across complex nuclear facilities.

These systems are essential for monitoring performance, controlling plant operations, managing risk and maintaining safe working conditions.

Working alongside experienced engineers and technical specialists, you may contribute to:

• Electrical engineering and power systems
• Control systems and operational technology
• Instrumentation and monitoring equipment
• Engineering design and design modifications
• Maintenance and inspection programmes
• Plant operations and technical support
• Equipment upgrades and replacement programmes
• Engineering assurance and compliance
• Asset management
• Testing, validation and commissioning
• Improving system reliability and performance
• Supporting engineering work within decommissioning programmes

You will develop an understanding of how engineering decisions are made within highly regulated and safety-critical environments.

Your placements could include exposure to operational facilities, major engineering projects and nuclear decommissioning activities. You will learn how EC&I engineers work alongside mechanical, civil, process, safety and operational teams to develop effective engineering solutions.

This programme would suit someone who is curious about how complex systems operate, enjoys analysing technical problems and is motivated by finding safe and practical engineering solutions.

You may be particularly interested in:

• Electrical engineering
• Control systems
• Instrumentation
• Operational technology
• Asset management
• Maintenance and reliability
• Critical infrastructure

Previous experience within the nuclear sector is not required. You will receive structured training, professional development and support throughout the programme.

To be considered, you must:

• Hold, or be on track to achieve, a minimum 2:2 degree in a relevant discipline
• Have the right to work in the…
