LU Rail Engineering Workshop (REW) Apprenticeship

As an REW apprentice, your 3.5-year development programme will be made up of various specialised engineering sections and departments, all based in West London (Acton), including electrical, electronic, mechanical and the Train Modification Unit. Our aim is to equip you with the range of skills and experience you need for your successful career. We also understand that everyone’s career is different, so every apprentice’s journey is unique.

Training:

EW Apprentices will spend year 1 in block release at college in the Enfield area, interspersed with targeted safety training courses and placements around the workshops to familiarise them with their future working environment. REW apprentices will also spend some part of year 2 back in block release at college with placements around their schedule. 

Training Outcome:

Upon successful completion of this scheme, you could roll-off into the role of Electrical / Mechanical Fitter, which could lead to further career development opportunities such as Team Leader, Production Manager or Operational Manager. You will also have opportunities to complete additional training courses. These will vary from soft skills training to technical skills training.
