Civil And Structural Engineering Degree Apprenticeship

Job description

Overview
Join our Cavendish Nuclear business and build a future that matters.
Over this 5-year programme, you'll study for a degree in Civil Engineering while supporting innovative nuclear projects that help safeguard people, protect the environment and support the UK's clean energy future.
About The Programme
As a Civil and Structural Engineering Apprentice at Cavendish Nuclear, you'll join a business that delivers vital engineering solutions across the nuclear sector.
You'll work on a variety of live projects, gaining exposure to everything from concept design through to construction and decommissioning.
Whether you're helping to develop new build facilities or enhance existing infrastructure, your work will directly support national energy and security goals.
Your day-to-day will vary depending on your placement.
You could be based on-site at nuclear facilities or working from one of Cavendish Nuclear's offices, each providing unique insights into how engineering solutions are delivered.
Typical responsibilities include collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, performing technical assessments and safety evaluations, attending stakeholder meetings, and continuously learning through on-the-job experience and formal training.
Depending on the project, tasks might involve 3D modelling, structural and civil design, seismic analysis, and structural inspections – all contributing to the safe and effective delivery of complex engineering solutions.
No two days are the same, and every challenge helps you build the skills needed for a rewarding engineering career.
Throughout the programme, you'll be supported by experienced engineers and mentors who will guide your development and help you grow in confidence.
