Sellafield Ltd

Sellafield represents one of the most environmentally challenging facilities in the world. In addition to the high-profile and heavily regulated management of waste, the sites faces the same challenges as most other large chemical facilities.

Candidates will be involved in all aspects of environmental sustainability, ranging from impact assessment to the improvement of the wider issues of environmental management systems to corporate strategy. These areas of work involve the analysis and manipulation of data to identify trends and propose solutions for improvement.

Continued development is extremely important in reducing the environmental impact of the site. As a result, Graduates will be offered secondment and training opportunities, structured to meet individual needs, with the aim of achieving Chartered status in the relevant discipline. Whichever discipline an individual chooses, one thing is for certain; from the very first day, this scheme provides a real job with real responsibilities. There is also plenty of support on hand from individual Mentors and line managers.
