Our graduate programme:

Our structured Graduate Programme provides you with opportunities for both personal development and technical training to support your well-rounded development. As part of the team from day one, you’ll gain the practical experience and responsibility needed to become a first-class Environmental practitioner whilst enhancing your individual personal development during your early career.  

In short, our Graduate Programme offers; 
•    Comprehensive Development
•    Practical Exposure
•    Individual Focus

You’ll also be offered a professional scheme mentor, to help you expand graduate membership of your specific chartered body.

We have a talented community of early in career individuals currently in the business who offer an abundance of networking opportunities, and plenty of experienced colleagues who will support you every step of the way.

You’ll join our Nuclear Business Unit where we take immense pride in delivering world-class, mission critical projects on behalf of our clients in the civil nuclear and defence sectors. 
Our capability runs through every phase of a nuclear project, from scoping and feasibility, design, build and programme management, installation and maintenance, to replacement, commissioning, and decommissioning of sites.
