Supply Chain Graduate Overview

Join EDF’s Supply Chain Graduate Programme and embark on a unique career path while contributing to the future of energy in the UK. This two-year programme, starting in September 2027, offers a competitive salary of £35,000 per annum and the opportunity to gain a fully funded CIPS Level 4 Diploma in Procurement and Supply.

As a participant, you will be integrated into the graduate community from day one, gaining invaluable experience at Sizewell B, one of EDF’s leading nuclear stations. You will work closely with the central Supply Chain team and other UK stations, developing expertise in procurement, contract management, supplier relationships, and strategic sourcing.

What You’ll Experience

Throughout the programme, you will collaborate with procurement specialists and supply chain professionals, gaining hands-on experience 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 will be entrusted with real responsibilities from the outset, working on projects that significantly impact EDF’s operations. The programme includes structured learning, mentoring, and support to help you develop your skills and professional network.

Location

Your primary location will be at Sizewell B, with opportunities for placements across different parts 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, for which EDF will provide practical and financial support.

Career Progression

Graduates from this programme have successfully transitioned into various roles within EDF, including Supply Chain Specialist positions, where they manage significant contracts and contribute to major projects like Hinkley Point C.

Who You Are

To qualify for this graduate programme, you should have a relevant bachelor’s degree or be expecting to achieve one. You must also be prepared to travel between sites and meet the Security Vetting criteria, which generally requires UK residency for at least three of the last five years.
