Electrical Apprentice Review

On a day to day basis i work with a fully qualified technician working on jobs that once i qualify i will be working on with possibly an apprentice. if i am experienced on the job from the past i will run the job my self with the technician observing me

i have learnt alot of new skills from beginning the job. I had some electrical and mechanical experience before starting but this job has made me a far better technician

i have wanted to work for eDF for many years, I enjoy very much working at the power station and felt like i have bonded very well with my team over the past 2 years

i feel very valued. The team leaders and managers listen to my ideas regarding jobs. and although i have only been here for 2 years i do have some experience which other technicians really take on board

it is planned very well with 2 years down in portsmouth training and studying on basic skills and them when returning to station putting those skills in to practice

we have many different training providers and they are always happy to answer any questions or queries ive had over the past 2 years. There knowledge and experience is very helpful

the co ordinator is very helpful. he has had many years experience at the station and will answer any question that i have for them. If he is ever unsure he will find it out

the pay increases over the 4 years. For our first two years food, accommodation and travel are all paid for aswell as being paid. When qualifying the pay increases again

many. The nuclear industry is thriving around the world now. I have been to many events and schools promoting the apprenticeship talking to students about the job

Yes

Is is a job for life. The pay is very good and you will learn alot of good skills that are transferable if you didnt want to stay at the station for the future

learn about what eDF energy actually does and where it is in the world. Revise aptitude tests which can be found on line because that is the first part of the application process you must pass
