Where necessary they carry out first-line repairs or send the equipment to the Workshop Team for further attention, including electronic repairs down to component level.
  • Workshop Team: Working on equipment sent to them by the Monitor Round Team, this team carry out second-line maintenance and repairs down to component level on essential Sellafield radiological protection equipment and work with brand new instrumentation that hasn't been commissioned yet.
  • HPIC Workshop: Working on PRPI (Portable Radiological Protection Instruments) setup and repairs down to component level on a range of handheld instruments utilised by Sellafield health physics.

As an EC&I Craftsperson Apprentice, you'll have the opportunity to work alongside both teams, learning from their expertise, and gaining the practical experience you need to become a fully qualified EC&I Craftsperson by the end of year 4.
