"The procurement graduate scheme at EDF has enabled me to develop my skills and grow confidently within my first professional role. The support I have received, alongside training towards my CIPS qualification have been invaluable, empowering me to meaningfully contribute to EDF's mission of building an Electric Britain." - James, Procurement Graduate

The Opportunity

As a Procurement Graduate at EDF, you'll gain hands on experience, develop technical and professional skills, and contribute to meaningful projects that support the UK's journey to Net Zero.

• Support sourcing and procurement activities across EDF's Customers business
• Work on high-value, business critical contracts that make a real difference
• Own and manage your own category of services
• Develop stakeholder management and contract negotiation skills
