Shape the Electrical Backbone of the UK’s Nuclear Future

At Cavendish Nuclear we’re working to create a safe and secure world, together, and if you join us, you can play your part as an Electrical Designer at our Warrington, Cheshire site.


The role

As an Electrical Designer, you’ll play a key role in our Cavendish Nuclear business. From decommissioning redundant facilities to supporting the Continuous at Sea Deterrent and the development of nuclear power stations, we help clean up the nuclear legacy and shape a future where nuclear energy supports national security, energy resilience, and net zero goals.

Day to day, you’ll

  • Create electrical design solutions and deliverables across the full lifecycle, from concept to in-service support.
  • Produce and maintain drawings and documentation to ISO standards, ensuring quality, cost, and schedule targets are met.
  • Collaborate effectively with design, engineering, and project teams to ensure coordinated and functional designs.
  • Support design reviews, resolve technical queries, and contribute to innovative solutions for manufacturing and installation challenges.
  • Assist senior designers with estimates, quality improvements, and test documentation, while staying informed on industry developments.

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.
