Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
We are looking for an Electrical Engineering Apprentice to join our team. You will join a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and technicians who design buildings and infrastructure projects. Your projects will be varied, and could range from airports, rail buildings, commercial buildings or residential, and you would be working on each for a period that could span several months as we develop through the design stages.
The role is creative, requiring the application of maths and physics to real-world problems. You will work together with engineering teams and architects to design efficient building services designs that bring buildings to life and make them comfortable and safe spaces to be. Examples of activities you might carry out include lighting design, assessment of cable calculations, lift analysis, fire alarm and small power design. Alongside the University content, we will provide on-the-job training to help being the theory to life, and enable you to deliver real work on real projects from the very beginning of your career with us.
