About this company

We see our staff as our biggest asset and one that needs to be looked after in order to provide consistent competent long service. This job is rewarding, due to being able to see the job/LPG tanker built from start to finish in a niche market. All staff work as a team and are fully empowered and supported to progress. I wish to have an ongoing year on year intake of apprentices, to offer candidates a career and to create a process to ensure we have staff coming in, gaining experience to account for those nearing retirement.
