Would you like to work for a company that makes electricity happen for every single person in England and Wales? A company that invests billions in Net Zero and creating a brighter energy future?
Imagine being paid over £23,000 a year while you train, with free food, accommodation, and travel included. The training is carried out through a combination of courses run at our Global Technical Training Centre of Excellence and on-site training on real transmission equipment in a live substation environment.
Our three-year Advanced Apprenticeship Substations programme will train you to become an craftsperson in our substations. Here, we transform high-voltage electricity into low-voltage electricity, making it usable for homes and businesses.
As a technician, you'll play a vital role in maintaining our substations, ensuring a safe and reliable electricity supply. During the apprenticeship, you'll learn maintenance techniques for power transformers, main connections, terminals, and various types of joints. You'll also gain experience working with air systems, batteries, and environmental battery charger systems.
Following strict safety guidelines, you'll be responsible for the maintenance, repair, and monitoring of high-voltage substation equipment, including circuit breakers, transformers, disconnectors, compressors, and auxiliary systems. Your skills and expertise will contribute to the smooth operation of our substations and the overall electricity transmission network.
By the end of the programme, you'll hold a Level 3 qualification as a Power Industry Substation Fitter, and most importantly, have a job waiting for you!
