Safety & Security Engineer Apprentice
I was hired as part of the Community Benefit commitment that North made for the City of Edinburgh Council CCTV contract.
I'm learning a wide range of skills with a lot of time spent learning the gist of how everything works, from installations to learning new systems with customers such as the National Museum of Scotland and the Royal Hospital for Children & Young People, and of course, working with the City of Edinburgh Council CCTV systems.
Every day I work alongside an experienced engineer to learn how they work. They teach me how to perfect my skills to help with my development and see what I can bring to the table. The team I work with are very friendly.
What I like most about working at North is that I’m learning a whole new set of skills that will influence my future career path.

Safety & Security Engineer Apprentice
I’m studying for my Level 3 Safety and Security qualification and am learning good skills that will be beneficial for the future, like checking batteries, voltage and amps and learning the end sites.
The best thing about the apprenticeship and working at North is the communication. The team are always checking in on you, supporting you and making sure that you’re learning on the job and are comfortable and happy. This is important as I'm developing a completely new set of skills and working on a wide range of new projects.
I am currently studying for my Electronic Fire and Security Systems qualification. In my apprenticeship I’m learning all disciplines within Safety and Security and soft skills including Health and Safety.
The best thing about my apprenticeship is the challenge. I like working at North and get on with my colleagues. I know that once I complete my apprenticeship and throughout my future career I will have transferrable skills. Every day is a school day, I’m learning new things everyday and cannot wait to continue my journey.
I’m a Structured Cabling Engineer Apprentice and learning a range of skills while working towards my Level 3 Network Cable Installer accreditation. In my apprenticeship, I get to work on exciting and interesting projects within the Defence & Justice division as part of the Field Services team. I’m developing lots of skills, including structured cabling, networking and fibre splicing.
I have been trained on how to use the Fluke Network Tester for both Copper and Fibre, fault find, and come up with process to overcome these issues. All are fundamental in becoming a key part of the engine that runs the Defence & Justice sector.
I really enjoy being part of the North team, and the options and abilities it has given me for my future career.
