Training & Development

You will train to help us deliver an amazing service to our customers across the North West and help us create a brighter, more sustainable future.

It’s an exciting opportunity to earn as you learn everything you need to know to launch your future in engineering. After three years, you’ll have completed an industry recognised level 4 Electrical Power Network Apprenticeship and a HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

You will be equipped with enough experience and high-quality training to take on a permanent role with us. Our Apprenticeship Programme has everything you need to start taking control of your future today.

The first few months of your training will be based at our state-of-the-art Training Academy in Blackburn. Depending on your home location you may be required to stay overnight during the week. If you would need to stay, then we make all the arrangements for you and will cover the cost.

To help you get to know your fellow apprentices, during your first couple of weeks you’ll go on an outward bound residential. This is a great few days which will help build a foundation for team work which will be important through your apprenticeship and into your career. You’ll take part in team building activities designed to be fun and help you get to know each other.

Throughout your apprenticeship you’ll develop your electrical skills with both professional training and on the job experience. You’ll be supported all the way by our highly skilled team of trainers as well as craftspeople, engineers  and support staff from our operational teams. Plus, you’ll be supported by both a dedicated mentor and your line manager. We’ll give you everything you need to help you take your career in the right direction.

You will spend 80% of your time working in our communities and seeing what our teams do . This will mean you can learn from the knowledge and experience of professionals across our business as well as building a portfolio of jobs and projects you've been involved in.

After you’ve successfully completed your apprenticeship, you’ll be ready to start your career with Electricity North West.
