Danish developer Orsted is currently taking applications for its UK offshore wind technician apprenticeship programme.
A total of 12 places will be available across the country – eight in the east and four in west.
The closing date for applications in Friday 5 July.
Orsted said people looking for a career change or soon to leave education, should apply.
The start date for the courses is September, with the programme lasting three years.
The first year will be spent at a local college working towards a Ministry of Education and Training level three and BTEC diploma.
Apprentices will also have the chance to travel as they take part in specific technical and health and safety training, which will be hosted across the UK and in Denmark.
Orsted learning and development senior specialist Robert Howes said: “Once these vacancies have been filled, we’ll have an impressive cohort of 22 apprentices across three year groups.
“It’s been fantastic to see how the current second year group have looked after the first years and we’re hoping to see that attitude replicated when we take on our next team.
“Ideally, we’re looking for team players with good communication skills. Someone who has a good technical understanding and an ability to problem solve will fit in perfectly.
“The renewables sector is still so new but it’s storming ahead and grabbing people’s interest along the way.
“This could be someone’s perfect opportunity to start on their journey to an extremely rewarding career path.”
David Davidson, an apprentice offshore wind turbine technician in his second year for Orsted, said: “I’m finding the apprenticeship very enjoyable. Working at a fast pace with experienced technicians, I’m learning new skills each day offshore – widening my knowledge on how our offshore wind turbine platforms work.
“I’m passionate about sustainability and climate change and wanted to work for a company who shared my ethical outlook. Orsted fitted that bill perfectly for me.”
