THE search is on for the latest ExxonMobil apprentices who would become part of the Mossmorran team.

Fife’s Ethylene Plant is looking past the current unsettled economic times to a brighter future and is looking to recruit two new apprentices in the fields of machinery and instrumentation.

This exciting opportunity will give two young people the chance to forge a successful career with one of the world’s best known energy companies.

Our picture shows three of the current Modern Apprentice, Jamie, Kyle and Ben, who are continuing their studies at Forth Valley College.

Details for the highly sought-after four year Modern Apprenticeships are currently on the ExxonMobil website, and adverts will soon be appearing in the local newspapers giving more detail on the available roles and the application process.

Jacob McAlister, FEP plant manager said: “For over 30 years, our apprentice programme has always looked for the best candidates, and this is reflected in our recruitment process which is intended to attract the top talent.

“We continue to target fulfilling our future needs from our local communities and that’s why some of our former apprentices have been with us for many years.

“We invest a significant amount of time and resources to give our apprentices the best skills, knowledge, and experience to succeed. At the end of the programme, they are well equipped to embark on their long-term career with ExxonMobil".

Jacob added: “Last year we had around 180 applicants for three positions, which shows just how sough-after our apprenticeships are.

“Many of our previous apprentices are now in senior positions at FEP, and some have had the opportunity to work overseas at our other ExxonMobil plants while learning their trades.”
