Training Outcome:Career progression within the CAD team can progress from apprentice to Draughtsperson, to Senior Draughtsperson, Principal Draughtsperson and Technical Lead.
Other career routes including overhead line engineering and planning.Employer Description:LSTC is an engineering consultancy offering services to the UK’s energy sector. We specialise in planning and consents, land surveying, land investigations and testing, design services and engineering consultancy for overhead line, underground cables and substation systems together with earthing and lightning protection in the UK.
Our challenge is linked to the rapid expansion of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects required to support the UK’s Net Zero commitments. With government targets to reduce emissions by 81% by 2035, demand for power infrastructure has significantly increased, placing pressure on engineering consultancies to deliver complex projects at scale.
At the same time, the UK faces a shortage of skilled professionals – 1 million engineers by 2030. This creates a clear risk to our ability to resource projects, particularly within Overhead Line where specialist technical skills take years to develop and are extremely difficult to recruit.
It is therefore imperative that we invest in training our own engineers. In additional to on-the-job training for all employees, we have an established apprenticeship programme, taking school/college/UTC leavers through to degree, master’s and chartered status, if applicable.Working Hours :08:00 – 16:30 Monday to Thursday.
