NDA group graduate programme

One extraordinary group, so many possibilities

We’re delivering one of the world’s most important environmental programmes, safely, securely and sustainably decommissioning the UK’s earliest nuclear facilities and preparing the sites for their next use.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) group is responsible for nuclear sites in all parts of the UK, together with specialist waste and international transport capabilities. Their work is also growing, with more facilities joining us to be decommissioned in the next decade. It’s a long-term mission and we deliver it with care for our people, communities and the environment.

With opportunities from procurement and supply chain to radiological protection advisors, engineers to cyber security specialists and accountants to project managers, together with a strong commitment to invest in your growth, there are so many possibilities to develop your career with the NDA group graduate programme.
