Tritech Commits to Future Subsea Talent
Tritech, the innovative underwater technology company, continues to harness the skills of the next generation of subsea engineers.
Across Tritech’s two sites in Ulverston, Cumbria and Westhill, Aberdeenshire, the company has been nurturing the potential of five student apprentices.
At Westhill, a student and a graduate from Aberdeen University have been employed as Student Engineers. Gregor Will and Ben Bird are working under the guidance of the Customer Support Team and will be on placement until mid-September. The students are obtaining hands on experience in quality control and design as well as gaining an appreciation of the various subsea applications that Tritech products are used for.
Tritech’s Ulverston site has three Electronic Technician Apprentices; in conjunction with apprentice engineering and technology training provider GEN II, who are at various stages of the four year placement. Chris Ronson has recently just completed a work-based portfolio as part of his final year to achieve an NVQ level 3+ alongside completing his HNC in Electrical & Electronic Engineering. Whilst two apprentices are nearing the end of their second year, Sam Simpson and Jake Holmes have been receiving onsite training, spending the last year working towards their NVQ level 3 and completing their ONC in Electrical & Electronic Engineering in preparation for starting their HNC this year.
Knowledge and competency undoubtedly go hand-in-hand with selecting the right individual to work at Tritech. As Bill Jaffray, Process and Improvements Manager comments, skills, commitment and teamwork are at the heart of Tritech: “Establishing student placements within Tritech has allowed us to attract the best calibre of individuals. The programme we offer allows the students to interact with their peers as we create a learning environment which necessitates teamwork.”
