Our apprenticeship programmes are a vital part of how we develop the skills needed for the future nuclear workforce.
They combine formal learning with practical, hands‑on training, allowing you to learn and build valuable skills and experience at the same time.
Apprenticeships are available across our Capenhurst site, including within our Engineering, Health and Safety, Chemistry Services, and Procurement teams.

We are incredibly proud of our annual Maintenance and Operations Apprenticeship Programme, with (approx.) 55 young people currently enrolled.
In 2026, we will be welcoming a new intake of apprentices across our Process Operations and Mechanical and Electrical Maintenance teams. These four-year, fully funded apprenticeships allow you to develop your skill set under the guidance of industry experts while working towards a Level 3 Science Industry Maintenance Technician qualification and a Level 3 BTEC Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering.
During your first two years, you’ll spend most of your time training at TTE (Training Tomorrow's Engineers), supported by regular check‑ins with your line manager and making regular site visits to Urenco. In years three and four, you’ll be based at Urenco, applying what you have learned and enhancing your skills in a live operational environment.

While our Engineering Apprenticeships form our main annual intake, we also offer apprenticeship opportunities in other areas including Health and Safety, Procurement, Finance, and Chemistry Services. These roles are advertised as and when the business requires them, so application windows may vary throughout the year.
