Case study

Andy Easton joined us as a Mechanical Engineering Graduate with First Class Honors from University of Hull in February 2008.

Since joining Cofely Fabricom GDF SUEZ, he has worked in different areas of the business, gaining experience of how we operate. This experience has included working at our Immingham facility and on a project site.

Andy gained a unique placement on the GDF SUEZ Nuclear Training Programme which entailed him working on various GDF SUEZ nuclear sites across Europe and attending training courses for a year. This training program is a good example of the opportunities we can harness as part of a global energy organisation.

Andy said:

“I am relishing the hands on experience that I am gaining during my training. Most of the people who were on my course at university have gone down the research route as the next step but the graduate programme at Cofely Fabricom GDF SUEZ has definitely been the right move for me.”

“I have particularly enjoyed the experience of working on a project site; this has allowed me to gain an insight into how a project is managed.”

Andy has since achieved Chartered status from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and continues to work in Project Management with Cofely Fabricom GDF SUEZ in the UK.
