Specialised training for our engineers

We have received the latest certification and passport cards for engineers whom have carried out training week commencing 25/03.

At Rotec, we believe the work we do is only as good as the people who do it. Maintaining high standards and safe work practices is paramount, which is why we invest into high quality training for all of our engineers. A number of them attended courses in March, designed specifically for the Fluid Power industry by The British Fluid Power Association (BFPA):

The engineers have now been supplied with the certification and updated engineer passport cards.

TRAINING PASSPORT SCHEME FROM THE BFPA

“This new initiative developed by the BFPA aims to help you keep an easily accessible record of the BFPA training you have achieved. You will be able to show these training passport cards to employers and customers to confirm qualifications and they will act as a reminder for when individual training courses need to be renewed.”

You can read more about Engineer Passports on the BFPA website.

Rotec at Seawork marine exhibition 2018

Rotec was excited to be part of this year’s marine exhibition in Southampton, an event we have been returning to for over 10 years.

We shared our stand with our sister company – Ram Reman, the specialist in hydraulic cylinders who compliments Rotec’s core capabilities in the design, build, installation and maintenance of hydraulic, pneumatic and electronic systems.

This year Rotec decided to champion Parker Racor filtration products, offering 30% discount in honour of the event. Rotec and Parker have a long history of close partnership, with Rotec recently becoming the only Parker HTC (Hydraulic Technical Centre) in the South of UK. Stand Visitors could look forward to a game of ‘Can you guess where these Racor filtration elements are on our ship?’ with the chance to win small prizes, using a Parker IQAN unit incorporated into a lit up boat unit.

As always, we had a great time and we look forward to the next year!
