Trainee Engineer (Technical Staff Trainee)

We're seeking individuals with HNC/HND or an equivalent qualification, ideally time-served or with work based industry knowledge and experience, together with the dedication necessary to become highly skilled engineers. The Trainee Engineer (Technical Staff Trainee) Programme will equip you to begin an exciting career helping us to design, construct, operate, maintain and ultimately replace our network.

It's important to us that you develop an understanding of our entire organisation before you take on the full responsibilities of a professional engineer. This is why we've created a two-year training programme that's designed to give you a broad picture of Northern Powergrid, whilst also ensuring you acquire a wide range of specialist engineering skills.

You'll gain professional experience, complete work-based projects and training courses, and undertake academic study.

Once you're a well-rounded engineer, with a successful track record of courses, placements and experiences behind you, we'll place you in a permanent role within the area of the organisation that best suits your skills, qualities and interests.

Naturally, from there you'll enjoy plenty of opportunities to develop and progress within our business.
