What is a Hinkley Support Operative Bronze? 

 

The Hinkley Support Operative Bronze training programme is for those interested in working at HPC in General Labourer roles. The programme is also designed to create potential opportunity for future skills and career development through a craft apprenticeship and recognised training routes whilst working on the HPC project.

 

During Construction, there will be many General Labourer job opportunities with the Mechanical Engineering & HVAC Alliance (MEHA) employers for people who successfully complete the HSO Bronze programme (subject to workforce demand).  

 

On completion of this HPC recognised ‘pre-employment’ training programme (HSO Bronze), you will be guaranteed an interview with the MEHA for a potential job opportunity at HPC.
