THINKING AHEAD
This ability to think around the corner has seen not just a client and supplier service agreement – but the development of a trusting partnership with a mutual goal of safety, excellence and maximum renewable generation.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
As a people business, understanding is key to a safe working environment and successful output. Boston Energy are committed at every level in the business to understand, communicate and deliver to client expectations.
BOSTON ENERGY HAVE COMMITTED TO TRAINING ACROSS A BROAD RANGE OF TURBINE TYPES...
A successful example of co- operation and enhanced service delivery was when we asked a client what would improve their day to day operations, both in terms of safety, output and economy. Supervision was seen as the crux of the problem, with valuable resources being detailed to support technicians who could not work autonomously due to lack of internal approvals.
WORKING TOGETHER RECRUITMENT STRATEGIES
Good recruitment strategies can mean the difference to short term or long term staff retention. Placing technicians close to home provides continuity, flexibility and a reassurance from our clients that along with their principle of delivering back into the local community, we value and work towards the same goals. We train extensively bringing new opportunities and exciting new careers to engineers from all walks of life. We value the lifeblood of our business – our technicians – and we are able to see them not just as employees, but as family providers and dedicated people.
Boston Energy worked with this customer to determine the processes needed, additional training and how to involve the technicians, ultimately achieving the competency approval and a reduction at site level of supervisors required. This net effect allowed the customer to re- distribute key figures to other critical tasks and save cost on planned manpower budgets per site. The success of this approval procedure showed that we could deliver technicians at a higher level, at speed and to good cost, gaining additional roles as a direct result of our proactive approach to the problems.
