The simple answer is no. The majority of apprenticeships in the utility sector requires no previous experience as you will be learning on the tools enabling you to understand the basics whether that is in the water industry or a telecom apprenticeship.
If your apprenticeship is an Intermediate Apprenticeship or otherwise known as a Level 2 Apprenticeship then you will work towards a NVQ Level 2 or a BTEC. As you progress up the apprenticeship levels the higher the qualifications get and the likelihood your career progression will be advancing.
Not all apprenticeships in the utility sector require you to work outside. Some utility companies and sub-contractors offer apprenticeships in their operations departments such as HR, Finance or Information Technology.
There are hundreds of companies across the UK recruiting utility apprentices from utility companies such as Thames Water, National Grid to sub-contract or service providers such as Morrison Utility Services and Murphy Group.
