Are there any issues applying for roles using an iCloud email address?

We've identified some infrequent issues when applicants apply via an iCloud email address. To ensure you receive all communications, we recommend using an alternative email provider to apply for roles where possible.

I wanted to apply for a position I saw, but it's not listed anymore - can I still apply?

All of our Early Careers roles do have a closing date listed, however, occasionally, we may close roles early if we reach our application numbers. If you're interested in a vacancy which has closed, please contact: yourfuture@edfenergy.com and the team will help you. You can also register your interest on our careers site, so that you get notified of any future roles which may suit your requirements.

How can I check the status of my application?

We always respond to applications as soon as possible, and we will aim to update you on progress within 7 working days, however, you can also monitor progress on your application through your EDF profile on the careers site, or by emailing us for an update at: yourfuture@edfenergy.com.

Who can I contact for feedback on my application?

Due to the high number of applications that we receive, we're unable to provide detailed feedback to candidates who are not successful at application or online testing stage. After online testing, you'll receive a personalised feedback report, which will guide you on your areas of strength and areas of development for the future. If you have any questions, or would like feedback following other stages of the process, please contact us at: yourfuture@edfenergy.com

Do you accept speculative applications?

Instead of accepting speculative CVs, we advise you to register your details on our careers website and set up alerts for future opportunities which will be relevant to you.

What do you do with my personal details?

At EDF, we respect your privacy and value the trust you put in us when you share your personal details with us. Find more information on what data we collect and why we collect this data from you:EDF privacy and cookie policy.

Who do I contact for queries about Graduate Programmes, Industrial Placements, Apprenticeships or Work Experience opportunities?

For Graduate, 12-month Placement and Apprentice queries, please contact the Early Careers Recruitment Team at: YourFuture@edfenergy.com. If you're interested in work experience, we offer virtual work experience, which you can access here Virtual Work Experience.

I'm a Recruitment Consultant, how can I work with EDF?

We don't use Recruitment Agencies for Early Careers recruitment. For Experienced Hire recruitment, we operate a preferred supplier list for recruitment agencies and are unable to accept unsolicited or speculative applications from suppliers not on the list. Please contact us to find out more here: AgencyQueries@edfenergy.com.

As part of our recruitment process, it is essential that you have the right to work in the UK. During your onboarding, we will ask you to complete a right to work check, which may be conducted either virtually or in person, depending on your documentation. We will inform you of the specific process when we begin onboarding.

For all our Early Careers programmes, if you meet our role requirements at application review, we'll take you through to the next part of the process. The next stage is a test that will focus on your natural skills and behaviours. This will come from a company called Arctic Shores. Keep an eye on your inbox and remember to check your spam/junk folder too as they may pop in there!

If you pass our testing, you'll move on to our video interview. This is a one-way video interview, where we will ask you a series of scenario-based questions for you to respond to.

Almost there! Following the video interview, we will get in contact with you (usually within 3 weeks) to let you know if you have been successful at moving onto the next stage or not. The next stage will be an assessment centre or face-to-face interview, depending on the programme you have applied for. You can find out more about each stage of our assessment process on the EDF Careers site. The whole process usually takes 6-8 weeks and we'll be in touch throughout.

How does the interview process work?

Interviews are designed to measure the skills and behaviours required to be successful in each of the programmes we offer. All candidates are assessed against the same set of skills and behaviours to ensure fairness and these are specific to the role that's been applied to.

Our face-to-face interviews are carried out by Hiring Managers, Recruiters, and HR colleagues from across the business and these can be done virtually or in person.

These are done as a standalone interview for our Industrial Placement programmes, but for Graduate and Apprentice programmes, they form part of the assessment centre day.

What happens at an assessment centre?

If you're invited to an assessment centre, the recruitment team will let you know what to expect. Our assessment days will involve several different exercises, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate all the different skills and behaviours that are important to the programme you have applied for.

Our assessment centres are usually done virtually, but you will be advised of this when you receive your invitation. We will also send you more information about what to expect on the day when we invite you to the assessment centre.

What to wear for my interview?

At EDF, most people wear smart casual attire. However, interviewees usually dress in business-wear. A good example of this is a clean and ironed shirt with smart trousers/skirt or suit and smart shoes. This is just as important for a video interview as it is when meeting us face-to-face.

What is the dress code?

For site and remote technical roles you'll be provided with a uniform and necessary PPE. Otherwise, our employees are expected to dress appropriately for the environment in which they work.

When will I hear the outcome?

We know you'll be keen to hear the outcome of your interview or assessment centre, so we will always aim to update you within 7 days of an assessment centre or within 7 days of our final interview taking place.

How do I tell you about any adjustments required in respect of a disability?

We're proud to be a Disability Confident employer. If you encounter any accessibility challenges during your online application, or you require any adjustments or support during the selection process, please let us know by contacting: yourfuture@edfenergy.com.

We operate a guaranteed interview scheme for candidates with disabilities, which means that if you meet the minimum criteria for the opportunity and you share your disability with us, you will automatically progress to the video interview stage of our selection process.

I have just finished School / College and don't have any work experience - can I still apply to EDF?

Yes, we don't require you to have any previous work experience for our Early Careers programmes. You can find out more about all of the programmes we offer on our early careers page.

Who do I contact for queries about Graduate Programmes, Industrial Placements, Apprenticeships or Work Experience opportunities?

Please contact our Early Careers Recruitment Team here: YourFuture@edfenergy.com

We're aware that a number of employment scams have targeted EDF recently and we take this very seriously. If you receive something that looks suspicious please don't respond or click on any links or attachments. You can report any suspicious communications to us by emailing fraud@edfenergy.com.

To help you remain vigilant, please note the following:

Our Recruitment Team will only use an official EDF email address to contact you.

EDF will never request financial information or payments during the recruitment process.

You can apply for all EDF job opportunities on our company website.

You should never disclose any personal information (national insurance number, date of birth, bank account details, address) or make payments to an unknown party.

We work with STEM companies across the UK to provide placement opportunities for school and college leavers. We also have a limited number of opportunities for undergraduate students. These are paid placements and typically last for 12 months providing a full year in industry.
An EDT placement will give students an opportunity to continue their STEM journey after leaving school or college and take a paid gap year to help inform and shape their future career choices. They will gain invaluable experience working in industry, develop their skills and knowledge, and boost their future employability. We have vacancies with companies across many areas of STEM from leading FTSE 100 companies to small innovative start-ups.

EDT placements are accredited at Industrial Cadets Platinum level meaning that the student's experience during their year in industry is quality benchmarked and recognised industry-wide.

Who's it for? ‍

EDT Placements are opportunities for school leavers (post A-Level/BTEC/Higher/Advanced Higher or equivalents) or undergraduates who are looking for paid work placements within the STEM sector.

Students can apply to the programme during their final year of A levels/ Highers/ Advanced Highers or equivalent study, for a year's work experience prior to going to university or as a year to help decide on the future direction of their career - be that higher apprenticeship, university or work.

Undergraduates looking for a placement year as part of their degree course can also apply, although we have limited opportunities for these students.
Why use EDT for your Placement?
EDT has over 35 years experience of placing students for a year in industry with STEM companies. We provide CV advice and tailored interview guidance to help students increase their chances of finding a suitable placement. If students are successful in getting a placement through EDT then they will be paid a salary by the placement company, have support during the year with a dedicated EDT volunteer mentor, have access to exclusive online masterclasses and be able to gain Platinum Level Industrial Cadets accreditation.
How do I apply?
Complete the application form below to apply to the EDT Placement scheme. In order to submit your application, you will need to attach an up-to-date CV in the required format. You will find the guidelines here, so please prepare this before starting your application.

We will assess your application and CV and we will contact you if we require any further information. If we have vacancies that you would be suitable for we will contact you with details of the role. You can then decide if you would like to be put forward to the recruiting company for consideration.

You will also be able to search the current vacancies on our website, as and when, they become available.
Is there a cost?
No. EDT Placements is a free service to students
When do Placements happen?
We are currently taking applications from students interested in placement opportunities for the academic year 25/26. Most of the vacancies are for 12 month placements and will start in July, August or September 2025.
