What is the Procurement Graduate Scheme?

We’re recruiting for graduates to join our Procurement Programme. Our aim is to drive positive social and environmental change throughout our supply chain to help Britain achieve Net Zero.

A wide range of suppliers provide works, goods and services to support the efficient running of our businesses in the UK. How do we maximise the value for EDF through the professional supply of third party goods and services? That’s the job of our Procurement, Purchasing and Supply Chain teams.

Over this 2 year programme, we offer a tailored training path that will help develop your skills, build your confidence, knowledge and experience.

Previous Procurement graduates have helped source and procure over half a million pounds worth of goods for the Renewables business, as well as tendering, negotiating and placing a company-wide Meetings & Events contract.

You could also be involved in projects looking at how we eliminate the use of all non-essential single-use items, or projects supporting our Net Zero ambitions and how we align to COP 26.
