Engineering (Operations & Technology)

The success of our power generation relies on the expertise and knowledge of our scientists and engineers.  As part of the engineering scheme, we’ll ensure you have the opportunity to develop your full potential and will provide you with a wide-range of experiences.

Throughout your placement you’ll receive all the necessary training, experience and support to become an integral part of our business.

From the outset you’ll be allocated an individual mentor, who will be a senior engineer or technical manager, to support you and guide your development.  There’s a comprehensive induction programme, covering the company as a whole, as well as a finely-detailed introduction to our power generation business.

It’s not just technical experience, but personal competencies too.  We want to give you all the skills you need to get to the top of your career.  From day one, you’ll be assigned a “home team” at one of our operational power stations, or in one of our engineering functions.  This gives you a unique opportunity to develop specific skills in your chosen field and make contacts that stay with you throughout your many placements.

You’ll get involved with real business issues and have the scope and opportunity to make a difference to the success of the business.
Our engineering scheme is accredited by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Institute of Engineering & Technology (IET) and can form the basis of an individually-planned development programme for other engineering institutions and professional bodies.
