United Kingdom EDF Energy Full time €23,250

Join our Chemistry Industrial Placement and you’ll achieve your career goals in the way you want to. All while contributing to our mission to help Britain achieve Net Zero. 

This placement is to support the EDF Chief Chemist as part of a chemistry team that provides governance, oversight, and support on chemistry across the eight nuclear power stations in the EDF fleet. This chemistry team is part of Fleet Engineering Governance & Oversight (FEGO), whose purpose is to:
•    Maintain a fleet wide corporate knowledge of the plant status.
•    Provide guidance and direction for assessing and managing cross fleet risks based on the safety case requirements and station lifetime goals.
•    Ensure that the appropriate engineering policies, standards and guidance are developed, deployed and implemented.
•    Ensure the engineering assets of the eight power stations are actively managed for safety and reliability over their full life cycle.
FEGO team members are typically highly experienced scientists and engineers who have a thorough knowledge of the nuclear and power industries, plants and systems. They have a broad understanding of the business and the external and regulatory environment. As an Industrial Placement you will get the opportunity to work alongside these people gaining valuable knowledge and experience.

Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. Our commitment is to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, the LGBTQ+ community, people with a disability and colleagues from a disadvantaged background. 

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. 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. Within FEGO there are eight chiefs covering a range of technical disciplines important in nuclear power generation. This placement is supporting the Chief Chemist as part of a small FEGO chemistry team. The main area of work is in monitoring and reviewing chemistry compliance at the eight nuclear power stations. This placement, which has run for several years, provides a fantastic opportunity to work on both short-term and long-term projects focussed around delivering practical solutions to issues affecting our nuclear power stations. Chemistry control is used, applied and developed on our Nuclear Power Plants in order to support safe reliable operation. By monitoring compliance, we can seek to continuously improve our performance. The placement is office based and will include training in chemistry and nuclear power plant design and operations.

There will be opportunities to visit operating nuclear power plants as part of the work, and to gain experience of working in a power station chemistry team. There will also be the opportunity to lead on the delivery of technical work that will provide insights into the technical chemistry aspects of nuclear plant operation. There will be the opportunity to get involved with interactions between chemistry peers across the fleet and with interactions on chemistry issues between EDF and regulators.

One of the key systems that the FEGO chemistry team supports is the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), used by the chemistry departments across the nuclear fleet. Further, the successful candidate will analyse chemistry data from the power station stations on the LIMS system to generate chemistry performance metric results that highlight the effectiveness of the chemistry programmes at each power station. This will revolve around emergent work from the nuclear stations including (but not exclusively) items related to technical chemistry, chemical safety, data analysis, and trending related issues that could threaten the integrity of the plant.

The role will involve communication over phone, e-mail, and face-to-face meetings with people from across the fleet. Other more broad areas may include aiding in the revision of technical standards, reviews of other areas of compliance outside of our existing monitoring programmes and working with the Company’s central technical chemistry specialists. There are also opportunities for training within the company to improve universal skills and chemistry knowledge.

You will be based within our Gloucester office; hybrid working is available during the placement period. 

We are looking for candidates who are on track to achieve, or have already achieved, a 2:2 undergraduate or postgraduate degree chemical sciences. A questioning attitude, good teamwork, and effective communication skills are also essential qualities we seek.

Join us and we’ll help Britain achieve Net Zero, together.
