**EC&I Craftsperson Apprenticeship**:
The EC&I Craftsperson Apprentice will be part of our Instruments Services team based on the Sellafield site in Cumbria. The role will provide the successful applicant with the skills and knowledge to allow them to maintain a wide range of measurement systems in our workshop facilities and on customer sites.

**Possible placements**:
The EC&I Craftsperson is responsible for the first & second line maintenance of Sellafield’s RPI equipment. This involves us having two different teams within our department, a monitor round team & a workshop based team. These two separate teams work under one hierarchy with the same common goal in mind.

The Monitor Round team are a set of EC&I Craftspersons that go around the Sellafield site maintaining the instruments in the changing rooms or on plant. Their role is to make sure all of the instrument remain operational if not, they can carry out a first line repair but if that doesn’t solve the fault the equipment will get removed from the area it’s in and sent up to B151 for the workshop team.

The Workshop team are a set of EC&I Craftspersons that are based in B151, they carry out second line maintenance & repairs on the equipment that’s been removed from plant by the monitor round team along with brand new instrumentation that hasn’t been commissioned yet.

As an EC&I Craftsperson apprentice you will assist both of these teams whilst gaining as much knowledge as you can from them in order to develop yourself from a year 1 apprentice onto a fully qualified EC&I Craftsperson by the end of year 4.
