Shaun, aged 18, 1st Year NC Student, attends Banff & Buchan College 1 day per week, previous placements include PPU, Valves, Rigging & Lifting and is currently working in Equipment Rental.
In Shaun's words:
“What I enjoy the most about my apprenticeship at EnerMech is that I get to experience working in all of the different departments and work with new people every 3 months. The only dislike I have about my apprenticeship is that 3 months is sometimes not long enough to gain a good in depth knowledge in certain departments as I spend 3 days a week at college”.
“I see myself as being a well trained valuable employee and hope to work offshore and maybe later in life work for the company in one of their bases abroad. Once I have completed my apprenticeship I wish to work offshore and work for the department I enjoyed the most throughout my apprenticeship”.
“So far my favourite workshop is hydraulics as there have constantly been jobs to do and everyone gets on well”.
“Tips I would give to future apprentices is to work hard and carry out instructions when asked to do so. If you do this you will have no problems at all”.
Working for EnerMech is enjoyable and they take good care of their apprentices."
