Three year apprenticeships are now available at Electricity North West for 15 people from Salford, Oldham and Stockport, training to help maintain, develop and grow the electricity network.
Electricity North West's apprenticeship scheme, which is now in its eleventh year, has trained and developed more than two hundred apprentices, and the company is looking for both craft apprenticeships, which include overhead line workers and cable jointers, and higher level apprenticeships, which include roles such as delivery engineer, project manager, design engineer and control engineer.
"Our apprenticeship scheme reflects our ongoing commitment to not only ensure we continue to power the lives of all our customers, but also to ensure we provide local jobs in communities across the North West" says Peter Emery, CEO for Electricity North West "Our apprentices make a huge contribution to our organisation and we have a responsibility to the next generation to create opportunities."
Apprentice Liam Osbourne, 22, explains: "I really enjoy the hands on aspect of the job and getting to travel and work outside in all different environments. I would definitely recommend the apprenticeship scheme and I wish I found it earlier. Most people you meet started as apprentices so they all take time to help or guide you. I'm proud to go out and meet the people connected to our network and see how much they appreciate the service we provide."
Higher level apprentice Adam Ainsworth, 20, adds: "My first impressions of the company when I first started was that it's a large regional company in engineering, that values safety very highly and works on important key values. I would recommend the scheme because the company is a very positive employer that has a planned progression that allows a high level of learning."
