Continuous improvement

We are committed to fully supporting our colleagues, enabling them to reach their full potential. We are proud that our professional development programme has facilitated continuous improvement and provided a variety of lifelong careers.

Personal growth and professional development

We offer sponsorship for ongoing studies, allowing our colleagues to achieve their personal growth ambitions while feeling rewarded as they contribute to our combined success.

Mark Jarvis, one of our Power & Control Engineers, shares his experience of working together in our team:

“I completed my BEng degree in industrial Electronics and Control Engineering. I had to commit a fair amount of my own time to complete the work required, but it was definitely worth it. The networks I built with other students who work in engineering roles are really helpful too. I have applied what I have learned back in work and it has made a real difference to me and to the business. I have had some great support from people on site who have completed similar qualifications and this has really helped me get the best from the programme.”

Personal Competence

Central to our combined success, it is essential for our colleagues to build relationships and engage effectively with others.

To ensure our long-term safety and success, our learning and development opportunities are designed to enable our colleagues to demonstrate the competencies needed for their current and future roles as the UK transitions to net zero.

 

As a top-tier COMAH site, we take technical skills very seriously. This is reflected in all the Health, Safety, Environmental, and Technical Training our people undertake.

This rigorous training instils the vital skills and knowledge needed to ensure everyone goes home safe, while protecting our local community and the environment. It also ensures we meet our regulatory requirements.

 

As careers grow, we also encourage the development of leadership competencies to enable colleagues to progress, take on greater responsibility, and fully utilise their talents as we transition to become the world’s first low carbon process refinery.
