Pros

I joined the company nearly 3 years ago and had no experience in the energy industry. That didn't matter, as I had a great Manager who was willing to invest in me, she taught me anything I was willing to absorb. There are challenges each month/year, but that's nothing to do with the company. Its the Environmental Agency and the Department of Business and Trade that apply some unrealistic time scales - which challenge us, but in a good way - makes us stronger and hopefully forward think better. My manager and team have been a great support to me, and I have loved being able to give back to them, by producing training documents and videos, when we have something new to learn - this I love to do. The benefits that the company give you are great, I really appreciate what we get.

Cons

Communication - this could be better - but this is no different than other companies I have worked with.

Pros

When I joined the energy industry, I had zero experience. Every week since has been different—a daily learning curve that keeps me engaged and growing. What makes this role special? Supportive Leadership: For the first time in 40 years, I have a manager who truly listens and values my input. Recognition & Rewards: Bonuses, wage increases, and end-of-year appreciation meetings remind me that my contributions matter. Work-Life Balance: Increasing holidays and extra “balance time” show the company cares about well-being. Approachable Management: Even when I share personal challenges, I’m met with understanding—not judgment. When I applied, I aimed low at first and wasn’t successful. It was only when I believed in myself and applied for a higher-paid role that I got the interview—and the offer came in above the advertised rate! This experience has taught me that the right culture and leadership can transform not just your career, but your confidence.

Cons

Holidays and Balance time started pro rata which meant I lost 5 days Holiday
