A day in the life of a Nordri apprentice...⚡
Today, we’re following Ian, our Mechanical Engineer Apprentice, for the day as he heads up to Yell with David to service a KW6 wind turbine and replace its blades and springs.
The day started at 7:50am, checking the van and making sure they had everything they needed before heading for the ferry – with the essential crisps and sandwich from the Tagon shop on the way.
Once on site, Ian helped with the turbine service and fitting the new blades and springs, as well as learning how to safely lower the turbine.
The work was closely supervised by one of the locals, who wandered over to make sure everything was being done properly. 🐴
Then it was onto the 3:15pm ferry home, back to the workshop for 4:30pm and one final job – getting all the batteries back on charge for the next day.
All in a day’s work for Ian at Nordri.
