Graduate Engineer Location: Sizewell B Industry: Nuclear We are looking for talented engineers who are graduating, or are recently graduated, to join the Risktec team at Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station. Candidates should have a keen interest in a career in the nuclear industry and be driven to work and learn valuable engineering skills in a dynamic environment. There are currently a number of vacancies for Graduate Engineers in various groups within the Engineering Department at Sizewell B. Graduates will work alongside experienced Systems Engineers in order to support the safe and reliable operation of a number of complex engineering systems on site. Disciplines Considered We will consider engineers who are graduating, or have graduated in the following disciplines at minimum BEng or BSc level: Electrical and Electronic Engineering C&I Control and Instrumentation Mechanical Engineering Civil Engineering Chemical Engineering Physics and Nuclear Physics Other disciplines where modules have been covered in Nuclear Operations/Engineering will also be considered. Engineers who have been graduated for over 1 year and have relevant experience will also be considered. Duration of Position Full-time (38h/week) with an initial fixed duration of 1 years with a view to make permanent. The Role The successful applicants will work within the Engineering groups at the UKs only operating civil Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) site. As a Graduate Engineer, you will work alongside and support the System Engineers who are responsible for the various plant systems at Sizewell B. On a day to day basis, this work will involve, but is not limited to the following: Review of preventative maintenance routines for the identification and implementation of changes to the operation and maintenance of the power station within Internal and regulatory frameworks. Ensuring that risk is managed throughout station processes and that quality is maintained through all aspects of the engineering process. Implement changes to plant, where required, using the Modifications Process. Assist in providing technical advice during the development and implementation large investment projects. Identification and management of critical spares and equipment obsolescence, Take part in Performance Monitoring and condition monitoring of plant to ensure the smooth and continued reliability of the plant, Undertake equipment reliability reviews and plant walkdowns. As part of this role, you will gain a broad and in depth understanding of risk management, design and operations within a large generating site. There have been a large number of Risktec graduates who have been employed at Sizewell B recently. Many of these have developed very quickly and a high proportion have gone in permanent positions on site. A development and mentoring strategy is in place to ensure that Graduate Engineers are provided with the training and support required. Security Clearance Checks Due to the nature of the work, the candidates must have a suitable background that will allow them to achieve UK security clearance (please note that this is very difficult to achieve within the timescales for non UK nationals, and you will subject to a screening process prior to interview to ensure that you meet the security clearance criteria).

What our Graduates say: Having joined the graduate team straight out of university, where I had primarily carried out theoretical electrical engineering work, it was a great opportunity for me to kick-start my career and see first-hand how engineering theory is put into practice in the real world. One of the main highlights for me was being embedded in a team of multidisciplinary engineers within the Clients site who you cannot help but learn from every day; I give credit to this aspect of the program for really helping to broaden my knowledge into other disciplines, particularly mechanical and C&I. Where the graduate program stands out from many other graduate opportunities is that it is not merely a desk job - you are placed in an operational site where you are encouraged to familiarise yourself and participate in walk downs of operational plant. Knowing how something works on paper is good, being able to see how that translates into the real world is great. If you are looking to jump into a career in power, equipment reliability and asset integrity, or simply looking for an opportunity to broaden your knowledge of engineering processes in the real world then I would recommend considering becoming a member of the team.
