Imagine being paid over £29,000 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.
By the end of this three-year Higher Apprenticeship, you'll achieve a Bespoke National Grid Level 4 qualification in Electrical Power Networks Engineering. This apprenticeship will train you to become a Telecoms engineer in one of our substations!
As a Telecoms Engineer, you'll play a vital role in ensuring the reliability of our electricity network. You'll work behind the scenes, managing our communication systems, fixing faults, ensuring contractors' safety, and safeguarding the network against cyber-attacks.
You'll be involved in supporting the replacement of Telecoms Equipment, ensuring it meets the evolving demands for years to come. You'll learn about metering, telephone systems, communication routes to SCADA, the system that controls all equipment on a substation.
As National Grid strengthens its defense against cyber-attacks, this apprenticeship will provide opportunities for you to learn about the cutting-edge technology involved in safeguarding our systems.
Throughout the apprenticeship, you'll develop skills in planning and managing works, sourcing replacement equipment, establishing safe systems of work, and maintaining organised documentation. Effective communication and building relationships with customers and external contractors will be crucial in delivering these services.
If you enjoy problem-solving and using your practical, engineering mindset to improve things, we'd love to speak with you. Join us and be part of shaping a reliable and secure electricity network for the future.
