The YEYW Trainee Renewables Scheme
Training the people who will power a cleaner future
Great installations start with skilled people. We’re investing in the next generation, helping people build practical careers in renewable energy.
We currently have three apprentices studying heating, plumbing and electrics. With two due to qualify by early 2027, we’re looking ahead to our next cohort.

Why we invest in training
A better future starts with the people we train
At Your Energy Your Way, we care about how our work is done and who gets the opportunity to do it.
​
We install heat pumps, solar panels and batteries for homes across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire and West London. Training is part of how we build a team that can deliver that work with care, skill and confidence. To work with us, you must live close to Bracknell, Berkshire.
​
Our trainee scheme launched in 2023, creating a practical route into renewable energy. Today, we’re continuing that commitment through apprenticeships and opportunities to learn alongside our installation team.
​
We actively welcome women and people from all backgrounds into the trade. If you’ve never pictured yourself as an installer, we’d love to hear from you.
COULD THIS BE FOR YOU?
Like working with your hands? Put it to work.
There’s something satisfying about finishing the day and being able to see what you’ve achieved.
​
You might enjoy cycling, climbing, gardening or making things. Perhaps you’ve taken part in Scouts, Guides or Duke of Edinburgh, or you’re the person everyone calls when something needs fixing. Those interests can tell us a lot about your curiosity, persistence and willingness to get stuck in.
​
The work is practical and varied, with time spent both indoors and outdoors. You’ll be active, work as part of a team and build skills you can use throughout your career.
YOUR ROUTE INTO THE TEAM
Try the work. Build your skills. Take the next step.
01 / WORK EXPERIENCE
Come and try it
Spend a short work experience placement with our team and see what the job involves. Meet the people, ask questions and find out whether practical installation work suits you.
​
We’ll cover your travel expenses, but you must live near Bracknell, Berkshire.
02 / PAID PRACTICAL WORK
Get stuck in
If it’s a good fit, there may be an opportunity to join us as a general labourer on a paid, short-term contract.
​
You’ll help with installation preparation and practical tasks, learning from experienced colleagues as you go. Tasks will depend on your training and the work taking place.
03 / APPRENTICESHIP
Build your career
If we both want to take things further, we’ll discuss a permanent role and a recognised apprenticeship with you.
​
This combines learning on the job with formal study, giving you a route towards a qualified trade and a career installing renewable energy systems.
No qualifications needed. Bring curiosity and commitment.
You don’t need qualifications or previous installation experience to apply. We’re interested in your potential, your willingness to learn and what you could bring to the team.

​
Our three current apprentices are building their skills in heating, plumbing and electrics. Two are due to qualify by early 2027, and we’re proud to be helping them take that next step.
