Electrical, Control & Instrumentation (EC&I) Degree Apprenticeship

• As an Electrical, Control & Instrumentation (EC&I) Apprentice you will gain practical experience across a wide range of engineering activities, supporting the design and development of Electrical, Control and Instrumentation systems used within complex industrial environments.
• You will get involved in producing electrical drawings and schematics, selecting equipment and instrumentation, developing PLC/DCS control systems, working with industrial networks, preparing technical specifications and calculations, and supporting system testing and commissioning.
• Alongside experienced engineers, you’ll learn how engineering designs are developed safely and systematically, gaining exposure to areas such as control panels, motors and drives, sensors and instrumentation, functional safety, cybersecurity and engineering standards.
• The role is primarily office-based design work, supported by practical engineering experience, providing a strong foundation for a career as a professional EC&I engineer.
• No two projects are the same, giving you the opportunity to think creatively, solve complex challenges, and develop practical engineering solutions that make a real impact.

• As a Degree Apprentice, you'll combine academic study with hands-on workplace experience, allowing you to apply the knowledge gained through your university studies directly to real engineering projects. This blend of learning and practical application will help you develop the technical skills, professional behaviours, and industry understanding needed to build a successful career in the nuclear sector.
• Throughout your apprenticeship, you'll progressively take on greater responsibility while being supported by experienced engineers and mentors. In your final year, you'll complete an End Point Assessment (EPA), which will demonstrate your competence and readiness for professional practice.
• By the end of the programme, you'll graduate with a Level 6 degree qualification in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (BEng), alongside valuable experience delivering engineering projects within the nuclear industry, providing a strong foundation for a rewarding and long-term engineering career.

Your development doesn't stop when you graduate. We'll continue to support your professional growth as you progress towards professional registration through the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). We'll also support further learning and development opportunities, including postgraduate study, helping you build a successful and rewarding long-term career in engineering.

Due to the nature of our work, some roles require applicants to be able to achieve and maintain SC (Security Check) clearance criteria.

This means that your eligibility for certain roles may be affected by your place of birth, nationality, current or former citizenship, and any residency you hold or have held. Further details are available at United Kingdom Security Vetting: clearance levels - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
