What does Nuvia do? What will I do? Where will I be based? What's in it for me?.....
Well, that's what this section is for - to tell you about our apprenticeship scheme. By the time you’ve looked through it you’ll know if it’s the right one for you.
What does Nuvia do in the field of Engineering Design?
A great deal !
We design (and build) a wide variety of plant and equipment associated with the nuclear industry. Currently, most of our design is targeted at plant and equipment linked to decommissioning activities. With the rapid progress being made on “new build – the next generation of nuclear reactors” then we could soon be designing facilities and equipment associated with these power plants.
“Design” of course is more than just lines on a piece of paper! Typically, it starts with front-end optioneering and best practice studies; this is where you can make a difference in the brainstorming sessions tabling your own ideas for consideration and then development.
Later stages involve the schematic adaptation of existing designs or the completion of new designs to satisfy an agreed process solution, often leading to the detail design and build of components, machines, assemblies and whole structures.
What will you do?
The Advanced Apprenticeship in Engineering Design lasts 4 years. You’ll complete your work experience in our design office in Risley, Warrington. You’ll work with a team of experienced engineers - a few of them started off as apprentices too - and now they’re highly specialised nuclear engineers.
You’ll study at Training 2000’s engineering centre at Blackburn which has state-of-the-art facilities with up-to-date equipment and techniques. Don’t worry about getting there…we’ll provide transport from Risley to Blackburn.
Over the 4 years you’ll study for your National Certificate in Engineering; NVQs Level 2 & 3 and complete your HNC in Engineering. At the end of the programme you will possess skills and qualifications that are in very high demand. More details of the apprenticeship programme can be found in our apprenticeship brochure.
What's in it for you?
- You will be learning and earning a salary at the same time
- Generous holiday entitlement
- The option to join our company pension scheme
- Annual pay awards if you meet your targets
Who are we looking for? 
We’re looking for people who are serious about a career in engineering. You’ll need to be the kind of person who is keen to learn at college or at work.
You will need to be striving for or have a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade B including English, Mathematics and a Science subject. You’ll be computer literate and enjoy working with technology.
