The Nuclear Degree Apprenticeship Scheme
recruits and develops A-Level / B-TEC qualified (or equivalent) individuals to
become the next generation of nuclear engineers, scientists and
inspectors. Nuclear Degree Apprentices
will develop an understanding of working on Nuclear Licensed Sites, and the
regulation of such, supporting the safe design, build, commissioning, operation
and decommissioning of the civil nuclear industry including power generation.
The Nuclear Degree Apprenticeship is a
five-year programme, during which you will work towards the Level 6 Nuclear
Scientist & Nuclear Engineer Standard.
This involves an initial phase of
engineering appreciation and awareness, followed by a series of exciting
placements within areas such as nuclear integration, plant operation,
maintenance, testing, commissioning and nuclear safety, inspection and
regulation.
Our Nuclear Degree Apprentices follow a set placement
schedule, which will include placements with the different engineering and
science specialisms that are needed to regulate the complex, complicated and
hazardous nuclear industry. This will primarily be at our headquarters in
Bootle.
During the apprenticeship, you will be involved in a
wide variety of tasks and have ample opportunity to develop technical knowledge
and mature professional behaviours.
These tasks could include:
·
Specification and management of projects
·
Individual research to update engineering
good practice
·
Assessing the adequacy of safety claims
·
Inspecting operations or maintenance
·
Being part of an investigation team
This will build into a comprehensive portfolio of
experiences to demonstrate the knowledge and competencies gained.
You will also complete a BEng (Hons) Degree in
Nuclear Engineering which runs for the duration of the apprenticeship and is
fully funded by the organisation.
Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship,
you will have gained a BEng (Hons) Degree in Nuclear Engineering from Lancaster
University.
You will have also gained five years of experience
within various technical specialisms related to the regulation of the civil
nuclear industry.
Opportunities for career progression within ONR are
excellent subject to a formal employment offer being made.
Upon completion of the degree during the 6th
year you may be required to study for a master’s degree or undertake a 12-month
placement in industry.
Training
STANDARD & LEVEL
The successful candidate will work towards completing the Level 6 Nuclear Scientist & Nuclear Engineer Standard from the Institute for Apprenticeships & Technical Education. Delivered by Blackpool and The Fylde College offering expert tuition and exceptional facilities.
Personalised programme

Assessment mostly takes place in the workplace. When you start, you will be allocated a skills coach, who will visit you at least once a month to guide and support you and help you to plan for your future. We will also provide you with specialist support for your English and maths and for any additional needs that you make us aware of.
Qualifications required
·
You
will need five GCSEs grade A*-C/ 4-9 (or equivalent) including Maths, English and
Science/technical subject
· And
96 UCAS points (excluding UCAS points gained at AS level) or equivalent at T
level or HE Diploma to include Maths plus one other STEM subject (excluding
General Studies)
·
All
applicants will be expected to be medically fit as deemed necessary to perform
the role, be eligible to work in the UK and be able to successfully achieve
security clearance
Skills required
An interest in the nuclear sector and
keen appreciation of engineering and mathematics.
Prospects
Upon successful completion of the
Apprenticeship Programme there are development opportunities within the
organisation to work towards becoming a Nuclear Inspector.
Nuclear Inspectors are expected to be
capable of undertaking a variety of roles:
·
Inspecting sites
·
Assessing technical safety cases
·
Enforcing the law and influencing improvement in safety cases
·
Investigating incidents
·
Developing strategic approaches to secure high standards in the industry
·
Managing nuclear research contracts etc
Some inspectors concentrate
on undertaking planned and reactive inspections on site, while others will
mainly assess safety submissions or manage discrete intervention projects.
However, the focus is on working as teams to ensure compliance, reassure the
public and improve safety standards.
