As part of M Group Services’ commitment to attract, retain and develop the next generation of highly skilled, forward thinking and technically competent people, Morrison Energy Services has introduced its new Substation Awareness Training.
During its routine review process, Morrison Energy Services’ Electricity Transmission team created an introductory training day for its new starters, including some people who had no previous experience within the electricity transmission industry.
This training enhances employment within the industry, offering opportunities for people with no previous knowledge of Electricity Transmissions the chance to learn and grow within the sector.
The first session was open to the project management cohort, with some representatives of other areas of Morrison Energy Services, including bidding and operations, to assess the suitability of a wider rollout of the training day.
The day proved a success, with participants gaining a basic understanding of how a substation operates. This included learning how to identify components and equipment in substations. Attendees also gained knowledge of the substation safety rules and how they are applied in the workplace.
The new training ensures all colleagues can perform successfully, improving their abilities and helping to upskill people, as well as those new to the sector. This training will be mandatory for new starters and, for others, will be implemented as a refresher. So far, the training has prompted good discussion and questions from both experienced colleagues, as well as new starters.
Morrison Energy Services is committed to ensuring its people have the skills to undertake their jobs efficiently, effectively, and safely.
Speaking of the importance of this training, Richard Ryan, Senior Project Manager at Morrison Energy Services Electricity Transmission, said: “The training event was a real success, providing an engaging opportunity for our project management team to refresh their awareness and understanding of working in the substation environment and develop new technical knowledge.”
