Apprentice Electricians – Clarkson Evans

Location
Newquay

Employment Type
Full Time

Salary Details
Average weekly rates of pay are £343 in year 1, rising to £433 from year 2 onwards (based on average earnings for our apprentices for the last 12 months). Beyond the apprenticeship, you can expect to earn some of the most competitive rates in the industry, with many of our experienced electricians earning £1,000 per week and some earning much more.

Our electrical teams work ‘on price’ and apprentices receive payment for their share of the work completed by the team, which increases as experience is gained.

Details
If you can offer us your enthusiasm, determination and commitment, in return we can offer you high quality site experience, excellent training, a bonus scheme where you are rewarded for your efforts, and the opportunity to build a long-term career with us.

During this four-year apprenticeship you’ll train to become a qualified electrician, with a focus on gaining the skills needed to wire new homes. Reporting to our Newquay branch, you’ll spend the majority of your time working on new housing sites in the local area. One day a week will be dedicated to completing off-the-job training delivered through a mixture of remote learning (that you’ll access from home) and practical training at one of our training centres.

For the days you spend on site, you will work as part of a small team, wiring new homes from start to finish. Your team will include an experienced electrician and perhaps a second or third-year apprentice, who will help you build your skills over time so that you can complete a full electrical install and test for a wide range of new house types.

Our electrical teams normally work Monday to Friday, starting early (7am or sometimes before) and typically finishing late afternoon but working hours are not fixed so a flexible attitude is essential. At busy times of the year there will be a requirement to work late and at weekends but if you have the right mindset to be a successful apprentice with us you’ll relish the opportunity to be maximising your earnings through hard work.

Applicants must be aged 18 or over and must hold a full driving licence. For educational requirements, see below.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend an assessment morning with final interviews to follow. Successful applicants are likely to be offered a start date during December.

Responsibilities
You’ll need to make a worthwhile contribution to the team from the start. Your team leader will provide support and instructions to nurture your skills development while you also need to challenge yourself and be hungry to learn quickly. Team spirit forms a big part of how we operate so every team member is responsible for maximising their positive impact on the team as a whole and demonstrating reliability and flexibility.

Required Experience
No particular work experience is required but applicants would be expected to have an interest in DIY or practical work. A strong track record of employment, particularly in a physically demanding role, will help demonstrate suitability for this apprenticeship with us.

Required Skills and Attributes
Ideally we’re looking for GCSE grade Cs (or grade 4) or above in English, maths and a science but there may be some flexibility if you have relevant work experience.

Application Close Date
This vacancy will close as soon as we receive sufficient applications.
