I have been with the company for 3.5 years and work as a Workshop Technician based in Portsmouth, at the SubConnect facility.
What initially drew you to work in this industry or for GMG?
I originally came to work for Global Marine doing some temporary work through an agency, and after a while was offered a full time role – I loved it, so jumped at the chance!
What does your job entail?
We assemble the cable repair and jointing kits for the ships. When we’re busy, up to 400 kits can go out the door each month, and there are over 20,000 different individual components – so a huge number of variations of kits. They’re sometimes used onboard our ships, but we also sell them to other businesses as well.
What are the most challenging and rewarding aspects of your job?
The computer work can sometimes be challenging. The most rewarding part is seeing the pallets go out of the door with no mistakes. We pride ourselves on delivering things to the highest quality.
What’s the best thing about GMG?
The staff are friendly and I am able to work both on my own or in a team within a good working environment.
