National Gas is the backbone of Britain’s energy system - that's over 7,000 kilometres of pipes forming the UK's National Transmission System. We transport gas throughout Great Britain, repair and maintain gas pipelines, and manage the meters that allow millions of homes and businesses to access the energy they need. Joining us, you'll have an important role to play in maintaining Critical National Infrastructure.
You’ll be joining National Gas Services, a specialised unit relied on by the UK and other gas companies in the event of pressure gas emergencies. This makes it a really varied role, and means you’ll get the opportunity to frequently travel across the UK and Ireland.
During this three-year apprenticeship, you’ll develop as a skilled pipe welder. You’ll learn how to:
Weld tubes and pipes to a high standard, using a minimum of two manual arc welding processes
Identification and the causes of typical welding defects and how their occurrence can be reduced
Welding quality documentation, organisational reporting systems, procedures and their role within the overall quality process
Health and Safety in the engineering sector
Forming and assembling pipework systems
Preparing and using Manual Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) or Plasma Arc Welding (PAW)
Metallurgy of steels and alloys
Weld positions and codings
Weld testing
Reading technical drawings and welding symbols
We’ll work closely with your college to review your progress at regular intervals, providing feedback and guiding your development. You’ll have a tailored, personalised plan that ensures you have appropriate support and training. The majority of your learning will be on the job, with off-the-job training and one-to-one tutoring. Your apprenticeship will end with the completion of a dissertation and an End Point Assessment.Training:Year One
During term time in your first year, you'll spend a lot of your working week away from Hitchin, studying at Ofsted ‘outstanding’ Riverside College Widnes (in between Liverpool and Manchester). You'll stay over and study during the week to learn the foundations of the trade, with all travel and accommodation expenses covered by National Gas. This means you'll need to be comfortable, and excited by, the idea of living and working away.
Year Two and Three
In your second and third year, you’ll spend one day a week during term time, released for college. The rest of the time will be spent in Hitchin, developing your craft and learning from National Gas Experts in the field. Outside of term time, you’ll often be invited to complete additional trainings and courses as part of your National Gas journey.Training Outcome:After your apprenticeship, you’ll start to take on additional responsibilities, and continue on your journey developing your craft as a Pipe Welder. Pipe Welding is a skilled craft which takes years beyond your apprenticeship if continued learning and development. With a generous starting salary of £24,242 you'll set yourself up for a financially strong future, with annual payrises and performance-based pay.Employer Description:National Gas Transmission is the backbone of Britain’s energy system today and will play a leading role in the transition to a clean energy future that works for every home and business. We own and operate the national gas network, delivering energy to where it is needed in every part of the country.Working Hours :Typically, Monday to Friday, hours vary depending on travel and training.Skills: Problem solving skills,Logical,Team working,Initiative,Patience....Read more...
