Based at Devonport, the largest naval base in Western Europe, you'll join a targeted development programme designed to prepare you for a career in nuclear science and engineering. You'll work alongside an experienced team supporting the safe refit and maintenance of the UK's nuclear submarine fleet. You'll contribute to activities such as engineering design, technical analysis, simulation and modelling, engineering calculations, and the production of technical reports and drawings, gaining experience in how engineering and scientific principles are applied in a safety-critical environment.

You'll study for a Bachelors (Honours) degree qualification, accredited by the constituent bodies of the Engineering or Science Council, and delivered through University Centre Somerset's Cannington Campus. Delivered through a block-release study model, the degree covers topics including nuclear science and technology, electrical and mechanical engineering, engineering mathematics, fluid systems, control and instrumentation, systems engineering, advanced manufacturing, and engineering leadership. You'll complete placements across specialist teams at Devonport, including Design Delivery, Safety Engineering, Operations and Maintenance, Reactor Commissioning, Nuclear Standards, Reactor Product Safety and Assurance, and Radioactive Waste Management.

You'll be automatically enrolled onto the Apprentice Development Programme, which includes a series of digital and face-to-face sessions presented by wellbeing and performance experts and external partners to equip you with knowledge and tools to thrive on your programme and beyond.

Fully funded qualification, personal development training and opportunities, minimum 28 days holiday allowance including bank holidays, competitive pension scheme, employee share scheme, flexible benefits including cycle to work scheme and employee shopping savings portal. Opportunity to get involved in STEM outreach activities and volunteering opportunities.
