Kick-off or re-boot your career as a Plumbing Apprentice
At Bord Gáis Energy we are offering a number of Plumbing and Heating Apprenticeships for anyone interested in a rewarding career in the energy industry. Currently only 6% of apprentices in Ireland are women – we are striving to address this imbalance by welcoming all applications regardless of age, gender identity or background as we work towards a Net Zero Society.
On commencement of your apprenticeship, you will be registered with SOLAS and start the first of your 7 phases. Phases 1, 3 ,4 and 7 will be with Bord Gáis Energy working in the field, while phases 2, 4 and 6 will be with SOLAS, the state training provider.
We will upskill you to be able to undertake all plumbing and heating installation works as well as general maintenance and repair works. You’ll be working with green technologies such as Heat Pumps, Solar Hot Water Systems and Smart Heating controls as well as full retro fit heating installations and any personalised heating solutions required for our customers.
On successful completion of your training, you will receive a QQI Advanced Level 6 Craft Certificate in Plumbing and an exciting career as a Bord Gáis Energy engineer!
Requirements for New Apprentices:
Successfully pass the Ishihara Colour Vision Test
