"Electricity is such a vital component in everyone’s lives.  It powers schools, businesses, and hospitals, so I knew that if I did my placement within EDF then I would have a really large impact on society, and that made my placement a lot more fulfilling.” Priyanka, Science & Engineering Industrial Placement.


What does this Chemistry opportunity offer you?


We’re recruiting for students to join us our Business Performance Programme, working at our Torness Power Station, located in Scotland (EH42). 


Taking on a real job at a junior level, you'll have the opportunity to learn through hands-on experience under the guidance of highly skilled and experienced colleagues.


Pay, benefits and culture


Alongside a starting salary of £23,250 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

 

At EDF, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our team members drive fresh thinking and innovation.

That’s why we give you the freedom to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.


Training, development, and support for you 


Over the course of this 12-month programme, you'll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in hands-on learning, working on real-world challenges that directly impact the energy industry. Most of your learning will be on the job, supported by your mentor and the teams around you. You’ll have a chance to apply your academic training to genuine industry problems while completing modules that contribute towards your degree.


Previous students on a Chemistry Industrial Placement have been involved in projects such as: 


•    Supporting improvements to safety through communications campaigns, training and other improvement projects. 
•    Looking at how radiation protection supports the building and operational life of new power stations; developing the skills necessary to support a wide range of teams in order to provide advice on radiation protection. 
•    Assisting in running, maintaining and developing the condition monitoring programme throughout a plant.


We’re here to support you throughout the process and you’ll find helpful tips and advice here:  


Your work location 


You will be located within our Torness Power Station which is located in Scotland (EH42). 


Who you are
