Following initial rotation across different departments within BRUSH Transformers, Apprentices will spend time in the Transformer Service Department with qualified and experienced Service Engineers, learning all aspects of maintenance, servicing, repairs, installation and commissioning of BRUSH Transformers. This will include travel and site visits. Following this, there will be additional opportunities for Apprentices to gain broader experience by working on servicing and commissioning in other parts of BRUSH Group such as BRUSH Power Solutions and Critical Infrastructure Solutions. This will involve national travel and overnight stays where required. Ultimately, this will open up additional career opportunities in Commissioning and Services across BRUSH Group as a whole, rather than exclusively within BRUSH Transformers.
