Apprentice Craft Person
Jersey Electricity
Simon had already worked at Jersey Electricity for five years when he joined our apprentice scheme.
Tell us about yourself
I’m an apprentice craft person for underground cable jointing within Jersey Electricity’s Service Delivery team.
What inspired you to start your apprenticeship?
The apprenticeship role appealed to me as I welcomed the opportunity to challenge myself and learn new skill sets in a thriving industry, with a company that has a long-established history in Jersey.
Within Jersey Electricity there is plenty of opportunity to progress and move roles. I used to work in the store’s department, and I wanted to change. Every step of the way JE gives you the encouragement and help needed to achieve that. JE was really encouraging when I said I wanted to progress down this new and exciting career path.
Tell us about a typical day
I start my day at the yard (La Collette Distribution Building), grab a coffee and have a quick chat with my colleagues before we receive our jobs for the day. I am then paired up with a jointing colleague and we head out to the site. Once there I help out by being a jointer’s mate, which involves taking equipment and tools to the pit, collecting equipment from the van or preparing the cable. I’m always busy and the team will always answer any questions I may have.
What do you enjoy about the apprentice scheme?
As apprentices do real jobs in genuine work environments, you gain softer skills that will help you throughout your career and grow your confidence, such as teamwork, effective communication and problem-solving. It’s more than just a qualification and job experience.
I see myself as an integral part of the company who has helped contribute to the growth and success of the organisation. I would like to continue developing my skills and knowledge to be able to take on more responsibility and progress to a trainee electrical engineer.
