What You'll Be Doing

As a Production Apprentice, you’ll gain real-world experience working on a modern Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant. Day to day you’ll be learning how to operate and maintain the station. Including things like learning to operate and inspect equipment across the station (such as pumps, motors, high and low voltage electrical systems, gas/steam turbines), learning how to plan maintenance work, complete risk assessments and Health & Safety documents and communicate with the other departments that work on site such as engineering and maintenance. The production team are the beating heart of a power station, keeping everything working in sync.

You’ll learn what types of things drive when the station generates electricity, and when it doesn't. And you’ll learn how to optimise both these times to either maximise our income, or plan maintenance work that makes use of the station not running.

The demand for electricity is increasing, and while the energy industry is changing, the demand for talented people to take over in the future hasn't. A career in energy is a career with purpose, one that you can be proud of and one that has a critical impact to every person’s life.

• Operate and maintain plant equipment safely and efficiently
• Work on systems including valves, pumps, motors, generators, and gas turbines
• Support the delivery of reliable power generation
• Assist with maintenance planning, risk assessments, and outage activities

Develop skills across:

• Electrical
• Mechanical
• Controls & Instrumentation

You’ll be part of a supportive Production team, contributing to performance targets while learning industry best practices.
