Rolls-Royce SMR has begun the process of recruiting its first apprentices to work close to Wylfa on Anglesey, North Wales – the location of Europe\u2019s first Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around 10 apprentices will join the company\u2019s Safety and Regulatory Affairs team at an incredibly exciting time for Rolls-Royce SMR<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and the UK nuclear industry as work begins on delivering the first three units at Wylfa, under contract to Great British Energy \u2013 Nuclear. Every successful nuclear project needs a strong team making sure it meets the highest safety and regulatory affairs standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

The apprentices being recruited now will play an important role in transforming the way nuclear projects are delivered through proven nuclear technology, modularisation and a \u2018factory-built\u2019 approach.<\/p>\n

Mark Salisbury, Rolls-Royce SMR\u2019s Head of Regulatory Affairs, said: <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSafety, security, safeguards and environmental protection underpin everything we do at Rolls-Royce SMR. Starting your career in nuclear with an apprenticeship in Safety and Regulatory Affairs is an opportunity to work alongside industry-leading nuclear, safety, and regulatory experts and contribute to the safe delivery of our SMR technology.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based at Coleg Menai, Llangefni<\/a><\/strong>, the apprenticeships will include a Level 3 Engineering Qualification backed by real-world experience and in-house training.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Rolls Royce SMR signed a contract with Great British Energy \u2013 Nuclear to commence site specific design and delivery activities for the UK\u2019s first small modular reactors. An Early Works Contract with Czech utility \u010cEZ has also been agreed to progress licensing, permitting and site specific design for deployment at the Temel\u00edn site reinforcing Rolls Royce SMR\u2019s position as Europe\u2019s leading SMR.<\/p>\n

Behind every successful nuclear system, product or operation is a dedicated team ensuring the highest standards of safety, security and regulatory compliance. That\u2019s where you could come in.<\/p>\n

Safety & Regulatory Affairs Apprentice<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re looking for curious, enthusiastic individuals to join our Security and Regulatory Affairs team on an exciting multi\u2011year apprenticeship programme \u2014 the perfect launchpad for a career in this vital field. <\/strong><\/p>\n
