Craft Apprenticeships

Want to work outside in a practical role but also use your brain and enjoy lots of variety?

Our apprenticeships are perfect for those leaving school who want to put their energy and ambition straight to work. It’s also a route into working in an innovative industry for those looking for a qualification or a change of direction.

Jointers carry out jointing techniques up to 66kV, including excavation, cable laying, reinstatement and fault location on LV cables.
