SAY HELLO TO THE NDA GROUP GRADUATE PROGRAMME

Graduates are fundamental to our future. Our programme focuses on supporting talented and ambitious graduates to build a first-class foundation for a rewarding career in the nuclear sector.
Our graduate programme covers all aspects of nuclear decommissioning, from the breaking down of nuclear reactors, to the safe transport and treatment of waste, to the restoration of sites for new purposes.
As an NDA Mechanical Engineering Graduate, you’ll have an influence on the future of national nuclear decommissioning. Our structured programme will build your foundations in problem-solving and process optimisation, preparing you for specialised technical roles or leadership positions. You’ll work alongside experts who will coach you through a core behavioural development curriculum and support your journey to Chartership.
Your prowess in design, analysis, development and implementation will power projects that address the sector’s biggest hurdles from conceptual layouts to hands-on delivery. You’ll rotate through multidisciplinary teams, gaining exposure to everything from safety assessments to large-scale equipment relocation, all while contributing tangible improvements to decommissioning practice.
Our recent Mechanical Engineering graduates have had a fantastic variety of experiences to grow their skills and technical competencies. They’ve managed contracts and quotes for critical decommissioning services, designed robust road-move processes to transport heavy plant safely across live sites, and authored comprehensive risk assessments that safeguard people and assets. They’ve led motor assembly and installation on active decommissioning lines, engineered innovative hazardous-waste storage solutions to meet stringent regulations, and leveraged 3D CAD and simulation software to optimise components. Alongside these achievements, they’ve performed structural integrity calculations to validate performance under real-world conditions, showcasing the breadth of experience you’ll gain from day one.
We are looking for individuals who can thrive in both collaborative and technical environments. If you have a demonstrable set of technical skills and a passion for the nuclear sector, we highly encourage you to apply.
