Jump to:
npower is one of the UK's leading integrated energy companies, and part of RWE, one of Europe's largest utility groups. As Britain's brightest energy company, we give creative and ambitious graduates the chance to work on exciting projects, such as our recent renewable energy contract powering Wembley Stadium's illuminated arch.
Who we are
We operate one of the largest portfolios of power generating plants in the UK and supply electricity and gas to more than 6.8 million residential and business customers. We manage flexible, low–cost coal, oil and gas–fired power stations and are developing innovative energy–related technologies. We take our role in the community very seriously and for the last three years we have been in the Business in the Community (BitC) Corporate Response Index top twenty. We also offer competitive prices, innovative products and excellent levels of service.
Combined with our retail strength, we have the capacity to generate over 9,000MW of electricity from a portfolio of diverse, low–cost generation assets. Our expertise in improving power station reliability, efficiency and environmental performance underpins our commercial success, and is marketed to other power plant owners and operators. Through RWE Power International, we provide specialist services spanning the full range of generation technologies, fuel sources and mining techniques, to customers in the UK and Europe.
Renewable energy
We are also leaders in the search for viable, renewable power sources. We developed the UK's first major offshore windfarm, North Hoyle, which supplies npower Juice – a pioneering electricity product resulting from a unique partnership between npower and Greenpeace. We operate hydroelectric power stations in Scotland and Wales, using advanced communications and forecasting technology to create new possibilities for one of the oldest methods of harnessing power.
Who we're looking for
As Britain's brightest energy company we are looking for Britain's brightest graduates to bring inspiration to the way we work. That's where you come in. Each year we take about 50 people onto our graduate programme – people we expect to quickly become important players in our team. If you bring enthusiasm, commitment, and the capacity to learn combined with strong analytic and problem–solving skills, we'll give you the opportunity to shine. Our programme will introduce you to the many different facets of our business, and give you responsibility at an early stage within your chosen area of work.
We are committed to conducting our business with a sense of responsibility for the environment, our customers and for the communities in which we work. We will expect you to live up to these values.
