From Trainee to Site Lead: My Career Progression at AVT Reliability®
I joined AVT Reliability® in March 2021 as a Trainee Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) Engineer, starting out on a high-risk top-tier COMAH site. With no prior experience in condition monitoring, I was given a comprehensive and structured training programme that laid the foundation for my development. Fast forward to today, and I’m proud to now lead that very site as the CBM Engineer and Site Lead.
Throughout my journey with AVT, I’ve had the opportunity to attend a wide range of industry-recognised courses—from ARP-A to MLA—and gain hands-on experience across multiple sites nationwide. This diverse exposure has helped me build the technical expertise and leadership skills I need to manage critical maintenance programmes with confidence.
In my current role, I’m responsible for overseeing both the lubrication management and condition monitoring programmes. I apply multiple reliability techniques across site to keep equipment running efficiently, reduce unplanned downtime, and ensure plant reliability.
If you’re looking to take your career to the next level in a company that genuinely invests in your growth and gives you the opportunity to lead, AVT Reliability® is the perfect place to start and succeed.
