Graduates in my cohort have degrees ranging from engineering, architecture, biomedical sciences, business management and materials science. Focus on what you can bring to the company in driving project delivery forward (degree knowledge & 'extra-curricular') rather than trying to conform to stereotypes within the nuclear industry.

Interview Advice:
Learn about the company.
Nuclear Engineer, at Sellafield LtdRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Only apply for this graduate scheme if you are an engineer. The support they give engineers is much, much better than that for technical graduates. It feels like technical roles were added as an afterthought and a lot of the training / development opportunities are aimed only at engineers. The scheme as a whole offers little in the way of technical development.
Interview Advice:
The interviews were very standard with no tricks. Just make sure you read up on what the company does prior to the assessment centre.
Following the online application, there was an online assessment. (I think it was maths and verbal reasoning?) Then there was a simple phone interview. (with basic questions such as why do you want the job and what do you offer) Following this, I was invited to a 2 day assessment centre. This involved a written essay (on a simple topic given to you on the day), a group exercise, a presentation about the company, a technical interview and a personal interview.

Be personable and make your ideas heard. Do not shy away if you are working in a group activity and the way things are going it needs a leader to speak up and be the organiser!

Application Advice:
I would say actually take the time to research the company. Have a look at what the future of the company looks like after reprocessing ends on plant.
Interview Advice:
It may have changed so please take my advice with a pinch of salt.
The assessment centre I was on was fairly straight forward. There is a technical and a competency based interview. For competency have some examples/ stock answers at the ready. Think about times where you have introduced a change in a place of work for example.
Mention that you like outdoor activities if applicable. An issue Sellafield has is that Cumbria is remote hence you want to show them that you will enjoy living in the area as well as enjoying the job.

Interview Advice:
Find a book on interview techniques/ commonly asked questions (it's better than the internet) and figure out what answers you would give and you won't go far wrong. The interviews were actually enjoyable (much to my surprise)- they give you a chance to ask what you will be doing and for you to find out if you'd like the job (it's not a one way process)! So ask lots of questions and have fun!

During the actual interviews the interviewers are just looking to get the most out of you, not to criticize or mark you down.
Project Management & Controls Graduate, at Sellafield LtdRead the full review »
Application Advice:
Consider carefully how you would fit in, in Cumbria. It is 2 and a half hours to the nearest big city and that really takes a toll on some people. The application process was slow so don't get worried if you don't hear back for a few months.
Interview Advice:
Know a bit about the company past, current and future. Especially think about what the company will be looking to do in the future. In the phone interview it was standard questions about how you would fit in, what your leadship qualities were like etc. The assessment centre was straightforward with no tricks but it was a long two days. There was a team work exercise, a character interview (like the phone interview - have a good couple of solid experiences which demonstrate each point), an essay (very simple) and a technical interview (more about your field - straightforward questions about your degree discipline basically).

Due to the potential dangers of the nuclear industry there is a huge priority on safety. Make sure you understand how your role would fit in with the overall goal of Risk and Hazard reduction.
Interview Advice:
The hardest part of the application process was the assessment centre which consisted of a standard competency based interview, a technical interview and a short presentation about yourself. There was also a group activity which required the team to split into roles and prioritise each of our time accordingly.

Application Advice:
Consider whether an office environment is for you - there is opportunity for a role on site too which has more plant based experience. But due to the split location of Sellafield, this is limited for design engineers to a 6 month secondment at site.
If you want more time on plant, apply for a site based role.
Interview Advice:
Apply if you are keen to learn about nuclear. The job means using key Chemical Engineering understanding and applying in a unique environment.

Radiological Protection Graduate, Safety at Sellafield LtdRead the full review »
Application Advice:
It’s a long drawn out process. If you make it through all the hoops and get offered a graduate place you still need to get security clearance and pass a medical exam. It’s not difficult it is just slow.
Video Interview: This was the weirdest thing I had done (think creating a YouTube video). Think about what is on the wall behind you (including whether the poster you have removed has left marks on the wall - it’s noticed believe me), don’t keep looking at your notes - it is obvious when they play the videos if you keep looking to the side of the camera. Wear smart clothes and when you get to the last question which is basically 'is there anything else you would like to say' use this to clarify on previous questions - not stare stupidly at the camera for 60 seconds.
Assessment centre: Is long and draining, competency based interview, technical interview, written test and a group exercise (had to prepare a press release and find out the root cause of an accident). We met our assessors the night before for an 'informal dinner', though they said we weren't being assessed it was still there first impressions of us - dress appropriately and bring a dinners worth of polite conversations and questions to ask
Interview Advice:
Competency based interview - examples of being a team player, dealt with a difficult situation etc
Technical interview - will vary between disciplines - I had to do a brief presentation on myself, talk about my degree modules and dissertation, and what areas I was interested in working in.
Remember that Sellafield is big on safety; also remember that it is the nuclear industry so think how the perception of the public influences what we do, as well Sellafield’s history and current operations.

I applied in February, took part in the online maths and reasoning tests and did not hear back until April. I was then invited to do a video interview and then got an email about the assessment centre. The assessment centre took place end of May and I heard back within 3 days about the job :)
Good luck with your application!
Interview Advice:
At the assessment centre, we took part in one group activity, one written exercise (sorting email etc), a competency based interview and a technical interview. Finally we had to deliver a presentation about ourselves and our experiences and motivations. The assessment centre had a relaxing atmosphere and the assessors were really helpful and understanding.

Application Advice:
Be honest, consise and try to cover all your strenghts. A bit of a cliche but in my opinion all HR application processes are that they are a bit of a lottery!
Interview Advice:
The most important advice I would give is show your personality. Everyone knows the name of the game is to prepare all the usual answers to the usual competency questions you will undoubtedly be asked and for the technical side know the basics of your degree, however what will give you the edge is showing just a little bit of you, a bit of humility, integrity, honesty and decency. Don’t try to be too smart, show that you will be a good person to work and get along with! Do not get overly worried about the technical questions....try to think of the fundamentals from university and what the company does and remember some key aspects that will cover those. You'll find you know more than you realise and enough to get you through!
