Since joining Jemsar in 2021, I have completed my ECITB level 3 NVQ in rigging. Whilst working as an improver I have picked up important lessons, with the help of my mentor and work colleagues, about safety, site rules, procedures and correct rigging methods. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around the country and work on a variety of different sites helping me expand my knowledge of how different site operate and the different procedures they follow.

I have gained vast amounts of knowledge in my pursuit of becoming a qualified maintenance technician / engineer. Predominantly my role is to carry out maintenance on heat exchangers, however, since being here I have learned key industry safety standards, mechanical practices and procedures covering a range of process equipment, such as Pumps, Gearboxes, Valves. Having these varied types of work in such an environment is rare, and I value that I have been able to start my career a part of it.

I am currently training towards becoming a mechanical fitting technician. In my 3 years I have helped strip, remove, install, and repair many heat exchangers with Jemsar and continue to learn more each day. I have also had time spent learning about rotary equipment such as pumps, turbines, and compressors. The job doesn’t just consist of mechanical work I’ve also been given big responsibilities such as handling permits and safety related documents such as Risk Assessments and Method Statements, which is valuable experience as I pursue my career in the mechanical world. Jemsar have always been there to support me throughout my apprenticeship and continue to make me feel like a valuable asset to them.

I am currently training in my first year at catch, in hopes of becoming a fully qualified mechanical fitting technician. In my one year at Grimsby I have gained many key skills through workshop experience as well as health and safety. I believe working with Jemsar will provide me with key attributes and knowledge to launch my career.
