Apprenticeships Latest news…. The ESB announced earlier in 2015 that they plan to take on 300 electrical apprentices over the next number of years. It is expected that the next recruitment drive for apprentices will take place in late spring 2016.
ESB Networks carries out the construction and maintenance of the distribution and transmission electricity network in the country. This includes sub stations and the overhead and underground electricity infrastructure that are used to bring electricity to Ireland`s 2.3 million domestic, commercial and industrial customers. The ESB regularly seek applicants for Electrical Apprenticeships. In order to fill these positions they run annual recruitment competitions. We are now accepting bookings for our Apprenticeship Preparation Course to help candidates pass the selection tests and interview.
Recruitment Process When the application process opens (for a couple of weeks in spring 2016), candidates aged over 16 and who have completed the Junior Certificate (click here for last years full list of requirements) will be asked to complete an online application form. Once the online application form is submitted, candidates will have only 8 days to complete a list of online psychometric assessments. If the candidates are successful in the online assessments they will be invited to sit an interview in the early summer.
Training for the apprenticeship would then commence in the autumn.
