Employment Type: Apprentice
Location: EP Langage Power Station
EPUKI are looking for a motivated and hands-on Production Apprentice to join the team at EP Langage Power Station and develop into one of the next generation of skilled Production Technicians.
Part of EPUKI, Langage Power Station was built in 2010 and is the baby brother of our fleet. Its high-pressure systems and its modern technology mean the station gives market leading efficiency to the National Grid and can offer flexible energy generation. So, when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing, Langage is ready to fill the gap making sure we all stay powered. Langage is an important part of the energy supply for the UK.
Langage has two gas turbines, each with a heat recovery steam generator powering a steam turbine. When it was built, Langage was one of the highest efficiency air-cooled combined cycle plants in the world.
About the Apprenticeship
This is a 4-year Advanced Apprenticeship (Level 3) programme delivered in partnership with City College Plymouth.
By the end of your multi discipline apprenticeship, you’ll have earnt a Level 3 BTEC Apprenticeship in Mechatronics, and an HNC
As a Production Apprentice, you’ll gain real-world experience working on a modern Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant. Day to day you’ll be learning how to operate and maintain the station. Including things like learning to operate and inspect equipment across the station (such as pumps, motors, high and low voltage electrical systems, gas/steam turbines), learning how to plan maintenance work, complete risk assessments and Health & Safety documents and communicate with the other departments that work on site such as engineering and maintenance. The production team are the beating heart of a power station, keeping everything working in sync.
You’ll learn what types of things drive when the station generates electricity, and when it doesn't. And you’ll learn how to optimise both these times to either maximise our income, or plan maintenance work that makes use of the station not running.
The demand for electricity is increasing, and while the energy industry is changing, the demand for talented people to take over in the future hasn't. A career in energy is a career with purpose, one that you can be proud of and one that has a critical impact to every person’s life.
You’ll learn to:
You’ll be part of a supportive Production team, contributing to performance targets while learning industry best practices.
