“I’ve worked for NLB since 2019. One of my favourite experiences has to be watching the sunset from the top of Duncansby Head while waiting for it to be dark enough to start a light range test. There are some real perks to working for NLB!”

Anna Beckett, Electrical Projects Engineer

“I started at NLB as an Apprentice Engineer. My apprenticeship involved travelling to different lighthouses for mechanical maintenance and breakdowns. I was involved in the PHAROS refit and spent 3 months in Spain working on our new vessel POLE STAR. These were both real highlights of my apprenticeship. So much so, that when a job came up with the ships as an ERT I applied and was successful.”

Morgan Dennison, ERT Ships
