Job Description

Apprenticeship Development Plan will start at a training facility offsite where you will be trained in the basics required for the chosen apprenticeship. In years 2 through 4 you will gain your initial understanding of our business processes – taking part in all aspects of the repair work carried out within our Montrose repair facility, moving throughout our different departments. Starting in the repair workshop, you will see the lifecycle of our products right through to the completion and shipping of a repaired and refurbished drilling equipment ready to be used in extreme offshore conditions. Your hands‑on academic training plan is where learning and development really begins.

During year four you will work with limited supervision and aim to pass several commonly used weld process coding.
