Bilfinger has reinforced its commitment to developing the next generation of inspection professionals through its Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Apprenticeship Programme at Hinkley Point C, with the latest intake of 12 new apprentices appointed to the project.
The NDT Apprenticeship Programme combines practical, site‑based learning with formal qualification routes, ensuring apprentices develop the technical competence, safety‑critical mindset and quality-centric approach required by the nuclear sector.
“Developing highly skilled and motivated inspection professionals is essential for the future of our industry. The NDT Apprenticeship Programme at Hinkley Point C demonstrates Bilfinger’s commitment to investing in people, not just projects. By combining hands‑on experience on a world‑class project with structured training and recognised qualifications, we’re building capability and capacity that will support the UK energy sector for decades to come.
“Hinkley Point C provides an exceptional environment for apprentices to learn and grow in confidence, offering exposure to advanced construction processes, uncompromising quality requirements, and a strong safety culture — all underpinned by experienced inspection and engineering teams.” Dr David Hall, Vice President of Inspection at Bilfinger UK
Hinkley Point C (HPC) is one of the UK’s largest and most complex infrastructure projects and the first new nuclear power station to be built in the country in a generation. Located in Somerset, the site will play a critical role in the UK’s long‑term energy security by providing reliable, low‑carbon electricity to millions of homes.
