RWE Generation provides a flexible mix for a powerful future. With a team of around 3,500 employees, the division operates flexible gas power plants, bioenergy facilities, and hydropower stations in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and Turkey. These assets play a vital role in balancing the supply of renewable energy during periods of fluctuation, thereby ensuring the stability of the power grid. Recognising the importance of energy storage, RWE Generation is integrating battery systems into its operations and pioneering hydrogen-powered technologies — an essential element for storing renewable energy for when it is needed most. As a long-standing partner for the regions in which we operate, our reliable, clean and flexible assets enable us to play a key role in decarbonising the energy system. Our team continues to be inventive, using their experience, talent and sunrise technologies to be the cornerstone our society can rely on.

• We are launching a new, exciting Graduate scheme for 2026, focussed on Operational Technology (OT) & Cyber Security. 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!

• Degree educated in automation, computer science, cyber security, electronics or mechatronics, preferably at a Masters level.
• Strong problem solving skills.
• Business fluent in English.
• Willing to travel and relocate, both during your programme and after with our financial support.
• Open to learning new skills, with both on-the-job training and external courses/training provided.
• 5 years’ residency in the UK, and willing to undertake SC level security clearance.
• RWE is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment – we value your passion, your willingness to learn and your desire to thrive. So, if you don’t display all the skills above but think this is the job for you, need flexible working arrangements or adjustments which aren’t outlined already, we would still like to hear from you.
