At Drax we believe in developing the skills of our employees and we recognise the contribution that apprentices can make to a business, that is why we invest in a 4-year modern apprenticeship program.
You’ll spend the first-year training at our training provider, East Kilbride Group Training Association in Glasgow, Monday to Friday.
We’ll provide the transport or cost of transport to get you there and back each week and a nice place to stay when you’re there so you can focus on your studies. Here you’ll start your Modern Apprenticeship in Engineering. You’ll then spend the next 3 years working at Glenlee Power Station learning from experienced Technicians, Shift Operators and Engineers. By the end of the 4 years, you’ll come out with an SVQ level 3 in Engineering Maintenance and a NC in Engineering.
You’ll need (or be predicted to achieve) a minimum National 5 grades C and above in English, Maths, a Technical subject and a Science subject. (You’ll need to prove these before you start so make sure you keep your certificates handy).
As well as getting the right grades, we’ll also be looking for candidates with good communication skills who can work as part of a team.
