Summary

Our three-year Advanced Apprenticeship Substations programme will train you to become a craftsperson in our substations. Here, we transform high-voltage electricity into low-voltage electricity, making it usable for homes and businesses.

 

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

As a technician, you’ll play a vital role in maintaining our substations and ensuring a safe and reliable electricity supply.

During the apprenticeship, you’ll learn;

  • Maintenance techniques for power transformers, main connections, terminals, and various types of joints
  • Experience working with air systems, batteries, and environmental battery charger systems
  • Following strict safety guidelines, you’ll be responsible for the maintenance, repair, and monitoring of high-voltage substation equipment, including circuit breakers, transformers, disconnectors, compressors, and auxiliary systems

Your skills and expertise will contribute to the smooth operation of our substations and the overall electricity transmission network.
