Whichever path you choose, we’ll guide and support you as you take on challenging and exciting projects. This strengths-based programme is designed specifically for graduates, letting you shape your own path and experience personalised learning in immersive work environments. You’ll find a mixture of online education, face-to-face workshops, on-the-job training and networking events where you will meet senior managers and the board.

You’ll also be assigned a buddy who previously went through the programme and a mentor to guide and support you throughout the experience. They will also advise you on rotations and introduce you to industry experts so that you can explore all aspects of the energy chain.

“Outage work is the best part of my job, I have just moved into a commissioning role which suits me perfectly as I like seeing the machine come to pieces and then when we put it back together I manage the testing and checks to ensure the machine is safe to run.”
