Electrical Maintenance Apprenticeship (Level 3 Advanced)

AWE has numerous electrical maintenance roles available, covering a wide range of responsibilities such as power distribution systems installation, electrical testing and inspection, maintenance of both high and low voltage systems, and work on lightning protection systems.

During the first 18 months at AWE, candidates will train in the Skills Academy and attend day release at college. This period provides a foundation in electrical theory, cabling, and wiring infrastructure. Following this, candidates will individually complete around 40 small projects, where they will be involved in designing, installing, repairing, and maintaining electrical systems.

After 18 months, candidates will join qualified tradespeople on-site and receive on-the-job training as electrical engineers.
