Apprenctice Instrument Technician

I enrolled on the OPITO Modern Apprenticeship Scheme in 2008. During the first two years of the apprenticeship I gained various qualifications at Jewel and Esk Valley College in Edinburgh.After completing the two years onshore training, I began working on the Ravenspurn North platform in the Southern Gas Asset of the North Sea which was operated by BP. I worked offshore in a core crew position as a member of a highly skilled multidiscipline maintenance team.On completion of my apprenticeship I was offered a role in the BP Designate scheme as an Instrument Technician on the Bruce platform.
