Drax Decarbonise and Transform: Sustainable Energy Work Experience

This virtual work experience programme introduces Drax and its role in the UK’s journey to net zero. You’ll explore how the company works across sustainable energy, from biomass and carbon removals through to flexible generation and energy solutions, and get a feel for the range of teams and projects involved.

Across the programme, you’ll learn how biomass is sourced, manufactured into pellets and transported, and how electricity and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage can support decarbonisation. You’ll also explore renewable energy applications such as hydroelectric and pumped storage systems, electric vehicle charging, and land management case studies that show how sustainability is built into real energy projects.

The course also gives insight into careers at Drax, including apprenticeships, internships, graduate roles and year-in-industry placements. You’ll build employability skills through quizzes, activities and a final learning summary, while discovering the skills, culture and recruitment process involved in early careers at the company.
