Job Description
Ignite Your Career with Submarine Delivery Agency's Project Delivery Graduate Scheme!
Are you ready to dive into a challenging and rewarding career with one of the most impactful organisations in Defence? The Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA) is on the lookout for dynamic and motivated individuals to join our Project Delivery Graduate Scheme in 2025!
Here at SDA, we don't just value diversity; we thrive on it. We believe that a diverse and inclusive team fosters creativity, develops talent, and propels us towards excellence. We're on a mission to build the project professionals of the future, and we want YOU to be a part of it!
Why Choose SDA's Project Delivery Graduate Scheme?
Following successful completion of the two-year scheme you will be asked to give a presentation/ interview based on what you have learnt throughout the scheme. You will be regraded into a permanent position and allocated a role within the SDA.
This is a Graduate appointment as a Project Delivery Graduate in the Project Delivery function. Your responsibilities will be as described in this job advert. The reason why you are appointed for a fixed period is due to the requirement for you to successfully complete the two year Graduate scheme before a permanent job offer can be made. This post will therefore begin on your appointment and end after two years.
Our graduates are primarily based in the SDA locations above, during the scheme you will be given the opportunity to undertake work-based training placements in various DNE establishments across the UK that focus on nuclear safety.
We cover the costs of accommodation, travel, and subsistence for detached duty away from your permanent duty station.
All graduates will come in at Security Check (SC) but will be given the opportunity to undertake Developed Vetting (DV) during year one of the scheme to open up wider DNE placements in year two.
Please note that due to the classification of work in some areas of SDA and wider DNE, we are only able to accept applications from people who hold sole British nationality.
Where business needs allow, some roles may be suitable for a combination of office and home-based working. This is a non-contractual arrangement where all office-based employees will be expected to spend a minimum of 60% of their working time in office, subject to capacity and any required workplace adjustments. Requirements to attend other locations for official business, or work in another MOD office, will also count towards this level of attendance. Applicants can request further information regarding how this may work in their team from the Vacancy Holder (see advert for contact details). Defence Business Services cannot respond to any questions about working arrangements.
Following completion of all pre-employment checks candidates can expect to start employment in October 2025. (Please note: If all your pre-employment checks have not been completed in time for you to start your employment in October 2025, it may not be possible to offer an alternative start date)
