Start Your Career with Dalkia
Are you practical, enthusiastic and keen to learn a skilled trade?
Dalkia is looking for a Building Fabric Maintenance Operative Trainee to join our team at Sizewell B. This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience in a professional engineering environment, with the potential to progress onto a Building Fabric Maintenance apprenticeship in September 2027.
You'll work alongside experienced tradespeople, developing practical skills across a wide range of building maintenance activities. No previous experience in all of these areas is expected – we're looking for someone with the right attitude, willingness to learn and commitment to working safely.
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.
