Apprenticeship Programme

THE CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS FRIDAY 20TH FEBRUARY

Apprenticeships are both a real alternative to university and a genuine chance to learn and grow in RWE, the third largest renewable generator in the UK. Wind turbine technicians travel offshore each day with other technicians to keep the turbines turning to produce low carbon electricity for the UK market.

Rampion has been one of the UK’s first offshore wind farms to fulfil site technician roles directly from through the apprenticeship scheme.

RWE Renewables offer the opportunity for motivated people to begin a career in renewable energy with us. This rewarding 3-year apprenticeship scheme enables the selected candidates to develop into technicians working on wind turbines.

We provide a comprehensive and well supported learning programme including classroom-based learning and experience on-site working with our technicians. Full completion of the apprenticeship will result in an NVQ level 3 Engineering Technician qualification.
