British Energy - The British Energy Graduate Scheme

“Support? There’s my buddy, my development officer, my mentor...
Shall I go on?”

As a graduate, you’ve got a lot to offer – and a great deal to gain. Which is what makes the British Energy graduate scheme so impressive. You see, you’ll be challenged, questioned, developed and, naturally, supported throughout your entire two years with British Energy.

Not only is British Energy the UK's largest producer of electricity, but we’re the lowest carbon emitter of the major UK electricity generators, focused on delivering clean, affordable energy for the long-term. Long-term also applies to the skills and knowledge you'll gain on our flexible two year scheme, whatever area you choose to work in, be it Nuclear Generation, Information Management, Supply Chain or HR.

You should have – or be expected to obtain – a minimum of a 2:2 degree (if a 3rd degree, it must be accompanied by a post graduate qualification in Engineering, Sciences or Business Areas); if you have industrial placement experience, even better.Mobility is required during the 2 year training period. You'll have strong communication and interpersonal skills, be self-motivated and open to change, be a team player and an individual who displays drive and commitment to the achievement of business goals.

Committed to your continued professional development, your progress won’t end with our graduate scheme. Once you’ve completed the scheme and have taken up a permanent position, we’ll help you to continue to expand your knowledge. And in addition to an excellent starting salary of up to £25,000 and a bonus of up to 5%, benefits include 25 days’ holiday, paid subscription fees for a relevant professional institution, a final salary contributory pension, and, where necessary, relocation assistance.
