Electrical Apprenticeships
Our electrical apprentices are based at our state-of-the-art Technical Training Centre at Prestons in Western Sydney. You will complete field placements in a variety of locations and roles, enabling you to learn from highly skilled and experienced tradespeople. By participating in job rotations, you will gain hands-on experience alongside specialised workers, in various areas including Substations, Field Service Centres and System Operations.
Our dual trade electrical apprenticeships are available in two streams:
Electrotechnology Electrician – studying towards a Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician and Certificate IV in Electricity Supply Industry - Substations
Distribution Powerline Worker – studying towards a Certificate III in Electricity Supply Industry - Distribution Overhead and Certificate III in Electricity Supply Industry - Distribution Underground.
You will work outdoors, in all weather conditions across the Endeavour Energy Network Area.
When working underground, you will install, repair and maintain underground cabling infrastructure.
When working at heights, you will install and maintain overhead electrical equipment.
You will also construct and maintain substations and switchgear, diagnosing and rectifying faults.
With the transformation to a modern grid, there are opportunities to be involved in commissioning new smart energy and automation technology to integrate distributed energy sources.

Apprentice Profile – Karyn
‘I had two children during my apprenticeship with Endeavour Energy and they provided the flexibility I needed to be a mum and complete my trade. Endeavour Energy were very supportive during my pregnancies, while on parental leave and when returning to work and adjusting to being a working mum. It was only because of Endeavour’s support and flexibility around my particular situation that I was able to successfully complete my apprenticeship and gain a permanent role as a Trades woman at Endeavour’
