Making a powerful contribution
British Energy

Apprentice scheme

It’s time to put our energy into your studies. If you’re looking to put together a future in engineering, this apprenticeship will give you the skills, confidence and qualifications to join our industry’s next generation.

Our modern apprenticeship scheme is a four year programme which not only focuses on the skills required to maintain nuclear power stations, but also the attitudes and behaviours that are essential for the safe operation of our plants.

The first two years of the programme will be spent at the Royal Navy bases at HMS Sultan and Collingwood, nr Portsmouth, Hampshire.

The academic and workshop training programme will ensure each apprentice gains the necessary introduction to engineering and initial skills development. Part of the programme also covers the development of your skills, confidence and communication – every apprentice is enrolled on the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme to give you the opportunity to challenge yourself and experience new things.

The accommodation and leisure facilities offer a fantastic opportunity to experience a wide range of sport and leisure activities or to study, relax and unwind in the evening and at the weekends.

Support from a dedicated development team and a 24 hour residential care team, ensures that all our apprentices are fully engaged in the programme and support is available throughout.

A full time British Energy Apprentice Manager is also on hand to deal with any day to day issues and to support you throughout your first two years of training. During the first two years, all meals and accommodation are provided along with a number of paid journeys home.
