EnerMech’s training centre in Aberdeen has achieved two additional OPITO global training accreditations, allowing the business to develop the skills and competencies of personnel working in lifting operations in any industry around the world.

The company’s dedicated facility was originally established to upskill the North Sea’s offshore workforce. It has been certified by the global energy skills body to deliver the Lift Planning training course and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) Competent Person assessment course.

The latest OPITO credentials actively support EnerMech’s growth in the construction, nuclear and clean energy markets.

The two organizations have a long-standing relationship, with EnerMech’s Great Yarmouth facility having accomplished its first accreditation circa 20 years ago. The Granite City followed with its first OPITO course over a decade ago. The business now delivers more than 38 OPITO approved courses around the world from its training bases in the UK, Qatar and Guyana.

While designed for offshore applications, the latest certifications are applicable to any industry where lifting operations are required and will actively support EnerMech’s growth in the construction, nuclear and clean energy markets.

Christian Brown EnerMech CEO said: “We are extremely pleased to be expanding our training offering to help upskill local workforces with global certifications which meet the needs of the construction, nuclear and clean energy sectors. We have been training personnel to OPITO’s standards for more than 20 years and fully recognize the importance for people to be trained to the same level to ensure everyone shares the same knowledge and understanding to remain vigilant and safe in the workplace to mitigate risk.

“These latest OPITO lifting related accreditations demonstrate our in-house capabilities to pass on these skills, and our ongoing commitment to supporting safe and reliable operations around the world.”
