Teenage engineer apprentice learning quickly on the job
Renewable energy systems manufacturer Viessmann says it’s not only Lord Sugar who knows the value of finding a good apprentice.
To celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, the Telford-based business has highlighted the success of its first ever customer service team apprentice, Marcus Nicholls.
Having completed a week’s work experience with the firm while at school, Marcus kept in touch with Viessmann and began an engineering apprenticeship with the company when he started college. Now aged 19, and in the fourth year of his course due to delays caused by Covid-19, Marcus has continued to balance his apprenticeship for three days a week alongside his gas engineering course at Dudley College.
Marcus’ job as a Viessmann engineer apprentice involves learning how to service and repair Viessmann’s entire product range; from domestic gas boilers, to commercial CHP engines. He is supported by line manager Kevin Coulter.
