What does this Mechanical Engineering opportunity offer you?


We’re recruiting for students to join us our Mechanical Engineering Programme, working at Hinkley Point C (HPC), the largest construction project in Europe or within our Satellite Delivery Centre (both located in Bridgwater).

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.
