This two-year programme, with a unique formula, allowed me to spend some gaining experience at multiple companies in diverse roles across the nuclear industry. Through this scheme I had time at Magnox as a Plant Systems Engineer, a commercial placement at International Nuclear Services, assistant PM at Fluor and Project Engineer at an EDF Energy Nuclear power station, on their critical path project during an outage.The nucleargraduates programme looks to develop each graduate both technically and behaviourally with a bespoke training programme. This means that I have completed modules from a Post Graduate Certificate in Nuclear Technologies as well as working towards completing the Open University / National Skills Academy for Nuclear Certificate of Nuclear Professionalism.
