Your progression is supported
Beata started working with MHI Vestas in 2015 as a Production Operative, but as she learned more about the production process she discovered what she really loved about the work and was keen to move into a position looking after quality processes.
“I realised that the thing I was really enjoying in my role was working to high standards and the level of detail you need to follow to achieve this. I was quickly able to progress my career with support from my managers.
“They gave me the opportunity to complete several GNVQs with CECAMM to gain the qualifications needed for my current role as Quality Technician. I love knowing that the completed blades have our personal attention to detail built into them. It’s something I’m really proud of.”
A good attitude and willingness to learn
Luter continues,
“This is an ambitious ramp up. We have an exceptionally strong, in-house training programme, so you don’t need any prior experience in this field. Just come with a good attitude and willingness to learn, and we will make sure you get all the training you need.”
