Training, development and support for you:

We’re passionate about your development and we offer each graduate tailored training plan based on your discipline that will help develop your skills, knowledge and behaviours, both during the scheme and in your future careers.

Previous projects graduates have been involved in have contributed to the development and operational phases of our renewable assets, which directly enable our Britain’s ambitious net zero targets, and they have had the opportunity to work on our operational wind farms, understanding the kind of maintenance that is required to keep them functioning and analysing data to see how performance can be improved. Previous graduates have also had the opportunity to become part of the Young Professionals and Growth Networks, which is a great opportunity for professional development; organising events and supporting the business and connecting with people from across the business.
