Mentoring new blood makes for an interesting day for Callan Sinclair, 20, hydraulic/ROV technician at Aleron Subsea Limited
My morning:
I usually get up around 6.45am to give myself time to get ready. I then have my breakfast and prepare my lunch to take to work. My younger brother, Ruairidh, also works for Aleron and we leave the house at 7.55am to give me plenty of time to drive from Aberdeen to the company’s base on the outskirts of Westhill. We usually arrive at work at around 8.20am, and I change into my coveralls and make my way to the workshop.
The first thing I do is liaise with the workshop manager who assigns me my tasks for the day. All of Aleron’s systems are thoroughly tested prior to any project commencing to ensure the success of each specific project, and my role can range from electrical, mechanical or hydraulic problem solving tasks to repairing faulty equipment.
Aleron also offers full contract support for the supply, service and maintenance of complete ROV systems and their associated equipment, which means that my work also takes me overseas. If I am working offshore, I report on shift at 6am for 12 hours of work, and my day usually consists of maintaining and flying ROV systems. I always use my initiative to look ahead to prevent any possible hazards or faults.
