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

The apprentice will be responsible for the operation, planned maintenance and reactive repair of all equipment relevant to the network. This may involve attending customer properties - both residential and commercial, as well as distribution substations and energy centres, generating heat and often electricity. The role can involve working under pressure and to tight time constraints, such as when responding to energy outages. The apprentice may also be required to support project improvement and specialist works, for example, acting as the company representative on the ground, supporting subcontractors.

Technicians are responsible for completing all operation and maintenance tasks to a high standard, whether planned, corrective or reactive. An accurate, clear and concise record of all works will be required. Technicians typically report directly to a Site Manager, Operations Manager or Maintenance Manager.
