Kit joined EDF's Data and Technology Graduate Programme knowing very little about either the technology sector or the energy industry. During the scheme, he completed four placements across different teams, building experience in Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Full Stack Software Engineering, and learning more about Britain's energy systems.
After completing the programme, Kit joined EDF's AI team as a Data Scientist. Following a successful year in the role, he took advantage of EDF's strong culture of internal mobility and moved into Software Engineering within our Small Business and Commercial business.
Today, Kit works as a Software Engineer, developing applications used by EDF's sales teams to provide energy solutions for small businesses.
"I went into the Data and Tech graduate scheme knowing very little about either tech or the energy industry. After four varied placements across different teams, I was able to learn a huge amount about our national energy systems, Data Science, AI, and Full Stack Software Engineering.
Initially after rolling off the scheme, I joined the AI team as a Data Scientist. After a really enjoyable year, I was able to move into Software Engineering thanks to EDF's strong culture of internal mobility. I now work on an application that our salespeople use to provide energy for small businesses.
There's a really lovely supportive culture in the team, we work in a totally agile way, and the software engineering we do has a great cloud-native and DevOps culture. I genuinely love coming to work every day, getting to see the great people I work with and building loads of cool stuff."
