Job description

What you will do in your working day

This is a 4 year apprenticeship which will include block release college sessions depending on any prior learning. The apprenticeship will include working on sites around the UK and also lodging away.

Due to current age restrictions on the sites we work on we are looking for candidates who are nearing the age of 18 or above on the possible start date. The electrical contracting industry is part of the construction industry and therefore electricians are generally responsible for the installation, maintenance, and repair of electrical services, both inside and outside buildings and structures such as houses, hospitals, schools, factories and shops etc.

However, all electricians will have a broad range of similar technical knowledge and practical skills to enable them to carry out their work safely and correctly.

Some of the things that an electrician will be expected to do are: .

• Install, maintain and repair electrical services (e.g. lighting, sockets, fire alarms, emergency lighting & heating controls)
• Work indoors and outdoors and be prepared to sometimes work at height
• Work with little or no supervision; relying on their own initiative
• Be prepared to travel away from home
• Develop good working relationships with people
• Read both building and engineering drawings
• Understand wiring and circuit diagrams
• Select (within limits) materials and equipment
• Inspect and test electrical installations
• Diagnose and rectify faults on a range of circuits and equipment
• Write reports.

As you can see, the job of the electrician is varied and interesting and can offer a challenging career. Consequently, the training programme that you will be following as a JTL apprentice has been designed to help you by meeting and delivering training to these standards and expectations.

The training you will be getting

• Level 3 Diploma in Electrotechnical Services
• Dedicated training at a college or training centre
• Day/Block release depends on college selected
• On-site, work-based assessments
• AM2s assessment of competence
• Functional skills if required for Level 2 English and Level 2 maths
• Apprenticeship starts from sign up date

What to expect at the end of your apprenticeship

The advertised apprentice wage will increase yearly or upon completion of progressive stages. After initially qualifying, you could go on to supervisory roles, senior management positions or even running your own business.
