Fast-track your electrical engineering career with our 2-year Accelerated Degree Apprenticeship. Designed for individuals with relevant prior learning, this programme enables you to complete your apprenticeship in a shorter timeframe than the standard programme. This unique opportunity blends structured academic study with hands-on industry experience, leading to a full BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering and a rewarding career in the nuclear industry.
About the programme
Our Cavendish Nuclear business supports customers to deliver a future where nuclear is a key part of the energy solution. By joining our Electrical Engineering Accelerated Degree Apprenticeship, you’ll be part of a team at the forefront of developing advanced technologies that make the world safer and more secure.
As an apprentice, you’ll contribute to a variety of projects involving electrical, control, and instrumentation design, from conceptual stages to manufacturing readiness. Learning from experienced colleagues, you'll have the opportunity to rotate through departments to contribute to important projects.
Through this fast-tracked programme, you will:
• Develop expertise in electrical engineering, including the creation of drawings, calculations, specifications, schedules, and technical reports.
• Produce technical documentation to support the design and development of nuclear engineering solutions.
• Evaluate designs for potential risks and hazards, focusing on nuclear and radiological safety.
• Contribute to projects across the entire design and engineering lifecycle, from early concept development to detailed design and manufacturing preparation.
• Gain hands-on experience with industry-leading design tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks for 3D designs and visualisation.
• Receive expert training in Electrical Safety and BS (IET Electrical Wiring Regulations).
• Enhance your nuclear industry knowledge through specialised training from the National Skills Academy for Nuclear (NSAN).
Your work will be integral to vital projects advancing the UK’s nuclear clean-up efforts. This includes decommissioning outdated facilities to safeguard the environment and refurbishing laboratories and nuclear waste plants to ensure safety and efficiency. Each project contributes to the safe clean-up of the UK’s nuclear legacy and helps create a world where nuclear plays a key contribution in protecting our nation, ensuring security of energy supply and meeting our net zero commitments.
