True to the fact that no two days are the
same in the programme, apprentices
will be assisting and dealing with a wide
range of customer’s needs. In their day
to day work activities they can be
responding to faults and fault finding to
maintain customer supply, connecting
new customers, both residential and
commercial to the electricity network,
replacing and maintaining electrical
assets and installing new elements to
the electricity network like overhead
wires and unground cable
technologies.
A critical part of the ESB Networks
Apprenticeship Programme is the
training and peer support given to the
apprentices. Throughout the
programme, apprentices work
alongside and closely with experienced
Network Technicians. While the job
may be challenging, the apprentice is
always part of a team who will be there
to assist and support throughout the
programme. ESB Networks greatly
fosters and encourages the idea of
creating a team and peer support
network.
