Meet Evie Holdsworth, Geospatial Surveyor Apprentice

Evie started her apprenticeship straight after finishing school at age 16, and she joined the MEH team last year.

“I use specialist equipment to take measurements across the site, which enables us to produce 3D models of important components and buildings. For the past six months, I’ve been learning from the project’s surveyors. I’m now being given more responsibility to carry out measurement by myself which feels great.

My dad used to work at Hinkley Point B – so he’s proud that I’m working here and following his footsteps in the nuclear industry. Getting an apprenticeship here also means I can continue living at home, I don’t need to move away.

I’d encourage anyone to apply for an apprenticeship. I know it’ll bring me career progression and it has really helped to increase my confidence because I speak to so many people every day.

I’d like to get a job on the construction site when I qualify. When the power station becomes operational, I’d like to work on other infrastructure projects – either here in the UK or abroad.”
