About The Role
Ensuring the future of electricity transmission
We don’t think of engineering as a job, we think of it as a legacy. A way of passing on a brighter energy future and keeping the lights on.
Would you like to be part of it?
How about being paid over £30,000 a year while you train…with free food, accommodation, and travel too?
Our three-year Higher Apprenticeship Overhead Line programme will train you to become an engineer in one of our Overhead Line teams.
You’ll be learning everything about Overhead Lines, the types of conductors, fittings and insulator systems that are installed. You’ll also gain knowledge regarding safety from the system, general safety, overhead line refurbishment & maintenance methods, technical support, 3rd Party requests and fault fixing.
At the end of the three years’, you’ll have a HTQ in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (HNC). Most importantly, you’ll have a job waiting for you!
A job where the decisions you make will impact the transmission of electricity in England and Wales for the next 40 or 50 years. A job where you’ll be delivering maintenance work, replacing and refurbishing assets, fixing mechanical and electrical issues. A job that helps connect energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar farms, to the transmission network.
Eventually, you will train to become an Overhead Line Project Leader and taking responsibility for the safety of your co-workers. If that sounds like something that you’d like to be part of, we’d be very interested in talking to you!
The life of a Higher Apprentice is varied and fast paced; no two days are the same. On a day to day basis you could expect to be involved with;
- Developing projects and safe systems of work for setting staff to work in accordance with safe practices, procedures and risk assessments
