Apprentice Field Service Engineer (Electrical) (UU00583)

You will gain a Utilities Engineering Technician Level 3 qualification.

Every apprentice is guaranteed a permanent position at the end of their scheme (as long as you meet all necessary standards and behaviour criteria throughout the programme)

During your first year, you’ll spend 8 months working from Bolton Technical Training Centre during the working week (Monday – Friday). If you’re from outside of the area, accommodation will be provided by United Utilities during this period, excluding weekends.

Once you’ve completed your apprenticeship you’ll be asked to join part of a formal standby rota, which may require you to do some out of hours work. Don’t worry your training will prepare you for this, but we do advise that you apply for a vacancy that’s relatively easy for you to get to, as we would need you to travel to the site in Oldham easily.

· Secure your future – every apprentice is guaranteed a permanent position at the end of their scheme (as long as you meet all necessary standards and behaviour criteria throughout the programme)

· It’s a springboard to your career – we provide you with structured training, a dedicated mentor and quality placements to help you shape your career

· Inspire the next generation – you’ll have the opportunity to represent United Utilities at key events across the region to engage with young people to bring careers in the water industry to life
