Join EDF’s Supply Chain Graduate Programme and embark on a unique career path in the energy sector. This two-year programme, starting in September 2027, offers a competitive salary of £35,000 per year while you gain invaluable experience in one of the UK’s critical industries.

Throughout the programme, you will work towards a fully funded CIPS Level 4 Diploma in Procurement and Supply, equipping you with the professional knowledge and practical experience necessary for success in a commercial supply chain environment. You will have the opportunity to engage with various aspects of EDF’s Nuclear business, including Hinkley Point C and Nuclear Operations, while contributing to projects that facilitate the UK’s transition to a low-carbon future.

What You’ll Experience

Your journey will include diverse placements where you will collaborate with procurement specialists, commercial managers, and supply chain professionals. You will take on real responsibilities from day one, working on live projects that directly impact EDF’s operations and major infrastructure initiatives. Key areas of development will include:

• Procurement and sourcing activities
• Contract management and administration

Each placement is designed to foster your professional growth while making a meaningful contribution to EDF’s mission. You will receive structured learning, mentoring, and support throughout your journey.

Location

Your primary base will be at one of EDF’s key sites, including Hinkley Point C, Bristol, or Bridgwater, with opportunities for placements across different areas of the business. Most roles will require you to be onsite three to five days a week, and you may need to relocate temporarily for certain placements, with support provided to facilitate these transitions.

Who You Are

To qualify for this graduate programme, you should have a bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline. Additionally, you must be able to travel between sites as needed and meet the Security Vetting criteria, which generally requires UK residency for at least three of the last five years.
