Apprentice

If you want to learn a trade for life, there's no better place than Northern Powergrid. The electricity distribution industry literally lights up the lives of people around the world - in our case, 3.8 million homes and businesses. It's an industry that's constantly evolving, too, so you'll always find new challenges and opportunities here.

We're seeking practical individuals who love working outdoors, with their hands, and as part of a skilled team. Our Apprentice Programme will equip you to begin an exciting career helping us to install, maintain and ultimately replace our network.

We've developed a three-year training programme that's designed to give you all the specialist skills you need to work safely and competently on our electricity distribution system in a variety of roles. You'll gain professional experience, complete training courses, and study for recognised qualifications at college. And we'll pay you a salary from day one.

Once you've completed your apprenticeship successfully, we'll place you in a permanent role within the area of the organisation that best suits your skills, qualities and interests. From there, your dedication and hard work could see you building a rewarding and endlessly fascinating career, with plenty of opportunities to develop and progress within our business.
