Our in-house design department works closely with clients which, when combined with our extensive experience in design of specialist equipment for the energy industries, allows us to fully understand both stated and unmet needs.
The tailored nature of our engineering operations allows us to work to a detailed functional design specification or where required, to provide a detailed specification on behalf of the client. Project planning is documented and tracked via standardised project planning software. This enables EnerMech's hydraulic services team to integrate seamlessly into a clients overall schedule. Dedicated project management ensures schedules are maintained and provides a single point of contact for the customer.
EnerMech has extensive experience in specialist standards that apply to the offshore and energy industries, including ATEX, Lloyds and DNV.

Dale, 18, joined EnerMech in October 2011; he has completed his PEO Level 2 and is in 1st year of his NC. Dale has worked in Hydraulic Engineering, Projects, Equipment Rental, Rigging & Lifting and is currently working in Valves.
In Dale's words:
"The thing that I enjoy most about my apprenticeship at EnerMech is that we travel around all the divisions within the company. This then gives us in depth knowledge about each department and an understanding of what each department does. Then this means that at the end of our apprenticeship we aren't working in a division that we are not suited to.
The only thing I don't like about my apprenticeship is the rotational period of each department is only 3 months. Sometimes this is not enough time to learn everything about the department.
I see my career progressing very well at EnerMech and hope to be here for many years. I hope to work my way up through the company to the best of my ability.
My favourite workshop so far has been the Equipment Rental. I really enjoyed this workshop as I was thrown into the deep end. Once I had an understanding I was left to crack on with the task at hand. I got on very well with everyone in the workshop and everyone was more than willing to help when I needed it. By the end of my time in the division I was completing jobs by myself and I felt that I had learnt a lot! Not only about the department but about myself
My favourite subject at college is Computer Aided Design. I like this because I've always been good with computers and I did some CAD at school. Now I'm doing more advanced levels at college and really enjoying it
The tips I would give to a new apprentice starting at EnerMech would be not to be scared to ask for help. As it can be daunting for anyone starting a new job and some can become shy it can be scary asking someone you don't know questions, but everyone at Enermech are more than willing to help with anything be it experienced workers or other apprentices like myself."
Scott, aged 18 joined EnerMech in October 2011; he completed his NC full time at Banff & Buchan college and is currently working towards his HNC Mechanical. Scott’s previous placements include Hydraulic Products, Equipment Rental, Rigging & Lifting, Equipment Rental and is currently working in Hydraulic Engineering.
In Scott's words:
“I enjoy the fact that every 3 months you move department giving you a chance to get a better understanding of all different types of work. I don’t like that I don’t get so much time to learn about each workshop because I have college 3 days a week.
I see my career progressing very well at EnerMech, I’m looking forward to completing my apprenticeship. Once I have completed my apprenticeship I would like to continue to learn and get more experience in a department that I like.
At the moment, I don’t have a favourite workshop as I haven’t been with EnerMech long enough to decide. My favourite subject at college is AutoCAD because I find it easy.
I would advise new apprentices joining EnerMech, not to be afraid to ask questions about anything, everyone is friendly and willing to help”.
Jarvis, aged 20, completed his PEO and is currently working towards his SVQ Level 3. Jarvis joined EnerMech in 2009 and has worked in Equipment Rental, Hose & Fittings, Machine Shop, Electrical department and has chosen to specialise in Rigging & Lifting. Jarvis received a Certificate of Commendation as part of the Apprentice of the Year 2012 Award.
In Jarvis's words:
“I enjoy my apprenticeship because there are so many opportunities to learn so many skills and we have the chance to get as much training as possible for the right job, and everyone is friendly.
I see myself getting through my college work and becoming the best engineer I can be because I work hard at college and apply myself at work.
I would like to become an on and offsite engineer and be able to work on installations with the lifting gear.
The lifting workshop became my favourite workshop because there is always work to do and there is more than enough to learn about and everyone is so helpful and friendly. I like all the subjects at college because they all teach you how to do your job.
I would tell new apprentices to stick in, apply yourself to the best of your ability because EnerMech is a big worldwide company and there is plenty of opportunities to go to different parts of the world”.
Chris, aged 20, completed his PEO and NC, he is now working towards his HNC with Banff & Buchan College, works at EnerMech full time and has commenced his SVQ Level 3, previous placements include Valves, PPU and Cranes Workshop. Chris is currently working in Hydraulic Engineering.
In Chris's words:
“I enjoy learning new things every day, the travelling to an from work is what I least enjoy, as I live in Fraserburgh. In future, I would like to go offshore, or become an engineer in the office.
So far my favourite workshop has been cranes, because I learned a lot of important things in the workshop about how cranes work also the co workers are very helpful and easy to get along with.
At college, my favourite module is CAD because I like learning how to draw to exact sizes by scale drawing and learning how to understand drawings.
My tip for future apprentices would be to be confident and also be willing to work very hard and get along with others”.
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."

My favourite workshop is the Machine Shop as it’s a very interesting job and full of opportunities. The Machining module is my favourite module at college as it is my job and I enjoy what I do.
I would advise new apprentices joining EnerMech to always work hard and always listen to what people tell you because you never know when it may come in handy.”
Sam, aged 20 joined EnerMech in July 2010, Sam has completed his PEO Level 2 and is in 2nd year of his NC and has commenced his SVQ Level 3. Sam’s previous work placements include Equipment Rental, Electrical, Rigging & lifting, Hose & Fittings and Hydraulic Engineering and Fabrication. Sam is currently working in the Cranes Workshop and is the 2012 Apprentice of the Year.
In Sam's words:
"I enjoy the variation of the different departments and the experiences that I gain within them. My least favourite part of my apprenticeship is not being in one department long enough to thoroughly learn everything about it. I hope to complete my apprenticeship and have enough skills to progress into departments overseas and offshore for EnerMech.My main goal would be to travel with the Company and eventually be promoted to the Engineering office.
To date, I have generally enjoyed both hydraulic and electrical departments. I enjoy hydraulics because the work that comes into the department is extensive and varied.; The electrical department was enjoyable because I felt that I really understood it and that gave me plenty of confidence.
So far, the health and safety part of my course has been my favourite. I enjoyed this because the teacher was informative and kept me interested throughout his classes. If I could give some advice to new apprentices, it would be to focus on what they want to achieve from their apprenticeship and do it to the best of their ability.
Overall, my experience with EnerMech has been really enjoyable and I hope this continues."
