Calisen is proud to offer five Smart Metering Apprenticeship opportunities exclusively for women. Women remain underrepresented in technical and engineering roles, and this programme is one way we’re helping change that by creating clear, supported pathways into a thriving industry. Increasing female representation helps us better reflect the communities we serve and brings the diverse perspectives needed to shape the future of energy technology. Apprenticeships provide a secure route into a skilled career, with hands on experience, real qualifications, and the chance to grow. This programme also supports our goal of building a more diverse talent pipeline and helping women become future leaders and role models within Calisen. Your 8 month training programme includes a blend of theoretical and practical learning delivered at our Training Academy in Ashton in Makerfield and with our apprentice training partner in Stockport, complemented by in-field coaching alongside your field supervisor.
