Top tips for new graduates
We asked senior leaders to share their top tips for new graduates joining RWE.
After launching a new, exciting Graduate scheme for 2026, focussed on Operational Technology (OT) & Cyber Security, we are delighted to continue this for 2027. OT encompasses all the technology, e.g. SCADA, PLCs or the DCS that controls the physical running of our assets and is a crucial part of power station operations.
As part of your programme, you will undertake placements in the fields of control and instrumentation (C&I), OT security and operations and maintenance (O&M). These placements could require you to work at any of our assets both domestically and internationally, so a willingness to travel regularly is essential.
Alongside your placements, you will undertake external training with our partner, and this combination of external training and your placements will ready you for a career in OT with us!
