Welcome to EDF Energy and welcome to Generation Electric!

We're proud to be Europe’s largest generator of sustainable, low carbon energy; committed to rolling out Electric mobility as standard, self-sufficiency and ownership of energy consumption through smart, innovative products which help decarbonise homes & businesses. We believe that, together, we can create a cleaner, low-carbon future.

Introducing Generation Electric: They are leading a quiet revolution shaping the future of sustainable living and working through low carbon electricity.  They are switching to low carbon energy sources, storing it in their homes and then selling it back to the grid and using electricity to power their movement. They are the pioneers of a better, more sustainable future for our planet.

On power stations, the supply chain teams are an integral part of the station's operation. These teams are responsible for the safe and efficient working of up to 1,000 contract personnel during outages. The materials management team runs up to a 24hr warehouse operation and expedites spares deliveries from suppliers to support on-site work. Other disciplines include procurement engineering, commercial buying, and corporate supply. 

For an idea of the type of work you could do, recent students have helped organise supplier conferences, tender to negotiate and place contracts, support strategy updates and work on nuclear power stations supporting supply chain teams during the delivery of major contracts. You will also get the opportunity to travel to suppliers' offices and our stations in order to support our key stakeholders and internal customers.
