One technician who has progressed all the way from trainee to Level 5 with Boston Energy is Colby, who joined Boston Energy through our Armed Forces intake in 2017.
Colby joined us as a Trainee Technician and after working his way up to a Level 5 Maintenance Technician with Boston Energy he is well on his way to achieving his goal of becoming a Level 6 Trouble Shooter.
“I was mobilized to one of the largest offshore windfarms in the country, where I spent 7 weeks as a trainee before progressing on to become a Level 4 Technician (CT). During my time as a Level 4 I worked on high-speed bearing replacement jobs, servicing & assistant troubleshooting, before moving up to a Level 5 Competent Technician in 2022 leading services and gaining more experience and knowledge each day.”
