RWE has launched its 2025 Apprenticeship Programme, creating 32 new opportunities for individuals to earn, learn, and contribute to the UK’s energy transition.
With positions spanning offshore wind technician roles, generation technicians, graduate schemes and year in industry placements, RWE is investing in the development of talent essential to achieving its Net Zero by 2040 ambition.
These roles represent RWE’s commitment to building a skilled, diverse workforce to power a sustainable energy future.
RWE’s apprenticeship programme reflects the evolution of careers in the energy sector.
From coal-generation apprenticeships over 50 years ago to cutting-edge training for offshore wind and green generation, RWE remains at the forefront of workforce development.
Tom Glover, RWE UK country chair, said: “Our apprentices are the future of RWE and are at the very heart of our ambition to be carbon neutral across all our operations by 2040.
“As we expand our clean generation capacity, these talented individuals will play a vital role in shaping the future energy system.
“Apprenticeships are not just about gaining skills-they are about building careers, transforming lives, and inspiring a new generation to help power the transition to a sustainable world.”
The 2025 apprenticeship programmes will run between two to four years, combining hands-on training at operational sites with classroom-based learning.
Candidates undergo a rigorous selection process, including assessment centres, team exercises, and interviews, to ensure the best talent joins RWE’s mission to create a clean energy world.
RWE has a dedicated online apprenticeship hub which includes all roles available and some helpful tips and advice for candidates.
The company also offers a range of opportunities to add to people’s skills including industrial placement programmes, higher apprentices and fast-track generation technician programmes alongside graduate schemes.
Five Estuaries sister project Galloper Wind Farm is proud to have supported four apprenticeships through the Offshore Wind Turbine Technician apprenticeship programme to date and has another placement available this year.
Conor Nicholson, business and stakeholder coordinator at Galloper, said: “We are proud to have successfully led four talented students through the apprenticeship programme, helping them to kickstart their career in one of the UK’s fastest growing industries.
“We look forward to receiving new applications in 2025 and giving someone the opportunity to begin an incredibly rewarding career.”
The closing date for applications is the 21 February.
