At EDF power solutions, we’re delivering an Electric UK and Ireland.

Alongside a competitive salary and potential for an annual bonus, this role offers flexibility across our UK office network. Your contractual location will be #Sunderland #Edinburgh #London, with hybrid working arrangements available. The role will require travel to offices across the UK, Ireland and France as business needs require.

You'll have the opportunity to influence major transformation programmes across the full procurement lifecycle, including Procure-to-Pay, Source-to-Contract, Supplier Risk Management processes. Working closely with procurement leaders and stakeholders, you'll help drive innovation, continuous improvement and adoption of emerging technologies, including AI capabilities.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
