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 a Waste Engineer on our graduate programme, you’ll rotate through a diverse portfolio of facilities chemical plants, research centres, reactor sites and waste-management depots each with its own legacy issues of age, location and condition. You’ll develop and implement sophisticated waste-management solutions, optimise and troubleshoot operational processes, and ensure regulatory compliance in demanding environments. Supported by a core behavioural development stream, you’ll sharpen your leadership and communication skills while taking the first steps toward Chartered Engineer status.
Recent graduates have mastered end-to-end waste workflows by conducting detailed waste assessment and characterisation studies, preparing accurate shipment documentation for both radioactive and non-radioactive materials, and drafting bespoke project waste-management plans that record every stage of a decommissioning campaign. They’ve carried out sampling campaigns, performed decay-curve calculations to schedule safe handling, and maintained comprehensive radioactive waste inventories to track volumes and activity levels. Alongside these technical tasks, they’ve aligned waste strategies with our sustainability goals minimising environmental impact and advancing the UK’s green credentials.
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.
