As an apprentice, you'll work at a company and get hands-on experience. You'll gain new skills and work alongside experienced staff.
What you'll do at work
The Electrical Contracting Industry is part of the Construction Industry and therefore, Electricians are generally responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of electrical services. These can be found both inside and outside of buildings and structures such as Houses, Hospitals, Schools, Factories and Shops etc.
However, all Electricians will have a broad range of similar technical knowledge and practical skills that enable them to carry out their work both safely and correctly.
Some of the work that an Electrician will be expected to do is:
Install, maintain and repair electrical services (e.g. lighting, sockets, fire alarms, emergency lighting and heating controls etc.)
Work indoors and outdoors and be prepared to work at height
Work with little to no supervision; relying on their own initiative
Be prepared to travel and work away from home
Develop good working relationships with people
Read both building and engineering drawings
Understand wiring and circuit diagrams
Select materials and equipment (within limits)
Inspect and test electrical installations
Diagnose and Rectify faults on a range of Circuits and Equipment.
Write accurate but concise reports
As you can see, the job of an Electrician is varied and interesting while also offering a challenging career. Consequently, the training programme you will follow as a JTL apprentice has been designed to help you. This is done by helping you via our meetings and delivering the training to the highest of standards and expectations.
