You'll be based in one of our main hubs - Dalton Avenue in Warrington, the Babcock Technology Centre in Bristol, or Humberside - and work on a diverse portfolio of projects. These might include adapting reactor technologies for UK deployment, supporting the UK's nuclear-powered submarine fleet, or helping to decommission legacy nuclear sites safely and sustainably. Your tasks could include defining process requirements, specifying and testing equipment, or assessing how our systems perform under different conditions. As your skills grow, so will your responsibilities. You'll develop problem-solving techniques, communication skills and an understanding of the tools and software used across the sector.
You'll study remotely with Teesside University, following the Science Industry Process and Plant Engineer Degree Apprenticeship standard. This well-established chemical engineering programme is delivered through a flexible, blended learning model designed to fit around your work commitments. You'll engage in online learning supported by weekly live seminars, giving you access to expert teaching while applying your knowledge directly in the workplace. On successful completion, you'll be awarded a BEng in Professional Engineering (Science Industry Process/Plant Engineer), along with an apprenticeship certificate graded at pass, merit, or distinction - recognising your achievement and readiness to progress in your engineering career.
Upon successful completion of your degree and apprenticeship end-point assessment, you will transition into a Junior Engineering role at Cavendish Nuclear, contributing to projects across both the civil and defence nuclear sectors. You'll earn a competitive starting salary of over £30,000, with opportunities for further development and progression. We are committed to supporting your continued professional development as you work towards becoming a fully qualified Process Engineer and achieving Chartered Engineer status with IChemE.
