Aquaterra Energy has welcomed three new apprentices to its engineering team. The apprentices, all of whom are currently studying at Lowestoft College, were selected from around 80 students who applied to be considered for the roles.

Nick Townshend, Work Based Learning Employer Services Manager (Engineering) of Lowestoft College said: “Apprentice schemes such as this offer exceptional opportunities for students to gain invaluable hands-on work experience. The specialist engineering skills and capabilities of Aquaterra Energy’s team are in demand all over the world, meaning that these apprenticeships are highly sought-after by our students.”

Two of the new apprentices, Stuart Knight and Lee Grice, both mature students, are about to enter their final year at Lowestoft College, studying BTEC Level 3 Diplomas in Operations and Maintenance. They both plan to also complete an NVQ Level 3 in Mechanical Engineering during the coming year. Stuart and Lee are now working as apprentices within the Aquaterra Energy team for four days each week.
