Telecoms Apprentice

The Telelcoms team join data technology in lots of different ways to deliver connected and bespoke communications solutions. National Grid Telecom teams enable the electricity network to be managed remotely, enabling customers’ power to be restored more quickly without having to dispatch engineers into the location.

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands‑on experience.

The National Grid Telecoms team is responsible for designing, installing, commissioning and supporting Telecommunications services across the NGED region. These services include Radio Communications for monitoring the Electricity Network, Mobile Radio for all NGED vehicles, Data Communications between NGED Offices and many other associated technologies.

Effective liaison with customers and external contractors, at a variety of management levels, is a key part of delivering these services, so the ability to communicate clearly and build relationships is very important.
