Nuclear Engineering Degree Apprenticeship (NEDA) Programme


At EDF UK success is personal. We don’t define it, you do. Join our NEDA Apprenticeship 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.


"The energy industry is a great sector to work in, with a diverse range of opportunities and a key role to play in the UK's net-zero carbon targets. The HPC project, spanning construction and nuclear operations, has plenty of interesting and challenging opportunities. I find being part of this team very rewarding." Lucas, Apprentice


What does this NEDA Apprenticeship opportunity offer you?


We’re recruiting for apprentices to join our Nuclear Engineering Degree training programme working as part of some of the most exciting projects at EDF.


During your apprenticeship you’ll be looking to make an impact – using your skills, knowledge and passion to achieve great things. So how about taking on the challenge of beating climate change?


During this four-year Degree Apprenticeship, you’ll learn from our industry-leading experts and gain valuable experience, whilst studying for a Bachelors’ Degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering. You can expect on-the-job training and the kind of practical experience you simply can't get on campus. On the scheme you'll follow the Level 6 Nuclear Scientist Nuclear Engineer Apprentice Standard.


Once you have settled in, you can expect to work in different areas of work such as design and engineering, core engineering, technical specification, commissioning and pre-operations and operations and engineering processes.

Pay, benefits and culture


Alongside a starting salary of £24,297 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.


We’re talking about everything from electric vehicle leasing to gym membership, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, season ticket loans to enhanced parental leave.
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.


Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. 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. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.


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. We understand that success means different things to different people. There’s no single definition — it's about individuality. 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


You’ll spend your first year in full time residential study at the National College for Nuclear, completing a foundation year in engineering, including both academic and hands on learning within a realistic training environment. You’ll undertake foundation training courses and complete orientations at your EDF location.
In years two and three, your time will be split between your studies and on the job learning at your EDF location, whilst you start to specialise in your chosen field.


In your final year, you’ll spend most of your time at your EDF location, whilst continuing your studies through distance learning. You’ll have developed your knowledge and skills from your studies and in the workplace and you will have captured the learning evidence as part of your training and development portfolio.


You’ll enjoy plenty of opportunities to get involved in meaningful and challenging work but that doesn’t mean you’ll have too much on your plate. You’ll be on block release from work when you’re studying, and we’ll offer support to help you manage your workload.


Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship, you will gain a BSc degree in an Engineering discipline and have experience of working in various areas of EDF understanding the foundation engineering principles and how they apply in major engineering projects.

At the end of your apprenticeship, you could move into engineering roles within a variety of teams cross the business. Head to our Careers page for more information about the scheme and Apprentice life at EDF.


Your work location


During years 2,3 and 4 of your apprenticeship your time will be split at the National College for Nuclear (southern hub in Bridgwater, Somerset) and your EDF location which could be:

  • Gloucester Business Park
  • Hinkley Point C
  • Suffolk


Who you are


To be eligible for this role, you’ll have:

  • GCSEs at Grade C/4 or above in English (language or literature) and Maths
  • A minimum of 102 UCAS points - ideally either three A-Levels (at grade C /4 or above including Maths and a Science subject). Or, a relevant Level 3 qualification, such as a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma with a strong mathematical element.
  • A passion for engineering in the nuclear industry.
  • The ability to work in a team and independently, as well as being able to balance the responsibilities of study and work.
  • Willingness to relocate as required.

You will need to meet the requirements for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least 3 of the last 5 years.
