Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you’ll do at work
Our 3 Year Apprenticeship Programme will see you develop both technically and personally, with the majority of your first year spent at HETA training centre in Hull completing some of the following training:
* Foundational knowledge units including Engineering Mechanical & Electrical Science and Net Zero Sustainability
* Specialist Electrical training including:
o Electrical Wiring & Maintenance
o Programmable Logic Control
o Fluid Power
* 1 Day a week will be dedicated to the delivery of a BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate in Engineering
Once you’re equipped with your foundation knowledge, you’ll join us on-site for Year 2 and 3 where you’ll work alongside our teams and start gaining valuable hands-on experience and training to further your understanding and start applying what you’ve learnt. You’ll be assigned a mentor, who will oversee your development and training, offering valuable insights into career paths at Perenco.
Some of your activities on-site might look like the below:
* Carry out maintenance on all Electrical equipment to the relevant Preventative Maintenance Routines (PMR’s) in Maximo
* Carry out EX maintenance on all EX Electrical equipment
* Complete work orders clearly to a high standard, including as much relevant information as possible. Raise any necessary follow-ups in Maximo, including as much relevant information as possible
* Complete any required P forms for adding or removing maintenance to equipment
* Raise any necessary Work Control Certificates (WCC’s) for non-routine tasks, including level 2 WCC’s
* Raise any necessary Isolation Control Certificates (ICC’s) for both electrical tasks and tasks for other trades that require an isolation
* Produce switching procedures for any High Voltage (HV) switching
* Carry out switching including isolations and de-isolations of low and high-voltage electrical equipment
* Take part in planning and executing any work associated with the annual slowdowns/shutdown

Your training plan
Our Apprentices will undertake a Maintenance and Operations Engineering Technician, Level 3 (A level). This will include a full-time period of practical workshop-based ‘off-the-job’ training at HETA in Hull.
You will also begin a technical certificate (depending on your prior attainments) where you will be required to attend HETA one day a week over two academic years. After your initial training at HETA, you will be working towards your End-Point Assessment.
