Maintenance and servicing
Testing and inspection to make sure we are compliant
The rearrangement of space and objects so that the next task can be done in the space dedicated
The last task can be as simple as removing waste, shifting furniture or as complex as a small Capital works project to reconfigure space: Stripping out, reconfiguring walls and doors, installing new power, lighting and data, processing chilled water, new paint, new flooring, and new ceiling etc.
The work is varied, and you will be trained in electrical installation and maintenance disciplines.
With the introduction of the 18th edition wiring regulations at the beginning of 2019, we have taken on refurbishment projects and this has led to the need to increase the number of electricians. As working in an Oxford University department as an electrician is somewhat unique, we want to take this opportunity to train our own staff.
As an apprentice, you will join the team sometime between July and September (the 1st September is the latest you would start), as the college training is due to start in September 2026. This gives you a chance to develop skills in and around being an electrician and to be settled at work before college starts.
Responsibilities:
Take instructions from an experienced technician, in order to independently complete basic technical tasks
Learn that safety is at the forefront of everything we do, to develop the skills and understanding to work safely
Safely operate basic equipment and seek assistance from more experienced technicians when required
Ensure that the work environment and equipment are kept organised, clean, tidy and secure
Gain an understanding of University Blue Book philosophies and regulations. Also, gain an understanding of BS7671 Wiring Regulations
Complete records and paperwork in line with statutory testing and other processes
Attend all day and block courses in line with your apprenticeship
Communicate back to your supervisor, any problems for extra advice and on completion of tasks set
Select, within limits, materials and equipment
After suitable and sufficient training, join the Building Services Fire Response Team
Under the guidance of colleagues, develop the expertise, confidence and skills to engage with academics, researchers, managers and administrators and eventually offer advice on solutions that are timely and cost-effective
Any additional tasks that fall within your competency as directed
Hazard-specific / Safety-critical duties:
This job includes the following hazard-specific or safety-critical duties, which will require successful pre-employment health screening through our Occupational Health Department before the successful candidate will be allowed to start work:
Working at heights
Use of any hand tools
Use of an electric drill
Manual handling
Possible driving on university business
The apprentice will learn about these on-the-job under supervision by a qualified technician or engineer.Training:Installation and Maintenance Electrician Level 3 Apprenticeship Standard:
You will be required to complete a three-and-a-half-year training programme (within a four-year contract of employment) that will cover all aspects of the role and will be delivered through in-house training, as well as day-release in college (Abingdon Campus)
College Attendance:
You will attend college on a regular basis throughout the apprenticeship in accordance with the requirements of the training provider (Abingdon & Witney College)
College attendance and successful completion of all modules are an apprenticeship requirement
Training Outcome:
In total, it will take four years to complete and achieve all elements of this apprenticeship, with support from the department, university, and college throughout
Over 80% of our apprentices continue with us in the role they have been trained for after their apprenticeship, and that is just the start of their career
