At EDP we are a diverse and inclusive workplace where every member of the team contributes and
where we all individually have a role to play. Our culture (The EDP Way) is a result of our
behaviours, our collaboration, how we share our perspectives and by working to this we ensure
that our team can be anyone’s team. We will encourage you to share your perspective and we
celebrate individuality to ensure the team is a place for all of us to belong and grow.

to help you grow and develop personally and professionally. This includes an extensive internal
training programme to expand your knowledge of our multi-disciplinary projects and roles within
these.
