What is a Networks Technician Apprentice?
Our Network Technicians work out and about in a van maintaining the local water network and supporting our customers.

As part of your apprenticeship, you will spend 24 months training and learning. This will be through a mixture of classroom study (1 week every month), and the rest of the time there will be on-the-job training with a mentor as you work towards a nationally recognised apprenticeship standard.
