Maths Graduate

Alexander joined EDF’s Science and Engineering Graduate Programme in 2025. During his first year, he completed placements across Nuclear Services RPS, Nuclear Operations Fleet Engineering Governance and Oversight (FEGO) and Instrumentation & Control (I&C) Programme Level 3 Systems, gaining experience in a variety of technical teams and specialist disciplines.

His placements have included writing Safety Case Documents for Hinkley Point C Instrumentation and Control Systems and modelling the degradation of Neutron Flux Detectors within the AGR fleet. These experiences have helped him build knowledge, develop competencies and gain confidence working across a complex engineering environment.

“Although I joined EDF as a maths graduate and initially felt unsure about working in an engineering business, I quickly realised how valuable and transferable my skills were. The variety of placements, supportive colleagues and opportunities to ask questions have helped me grow in confidence, and I’ve had real input into interesting projects that make a difference.”
