Desroy Jones
Desroy Jones works as a shift plant operator for the Veolia Staffordshire Energy Recovery Facility. The site takes residual waste and turns it into useful energy in the form of electricity.
Veolia introduced this training in 2017 and further staff joined the programme is 2018. The programme consists of six distance learning courses, specifically chosen to up-skill and support the staff in undertaking their work. Each course has a minimum study time of 80 hours, set at Level 3, and is fully supported by Veolia Staffordshire ERF.
The subjects in the programme are:
- Mathematics for Engineers.
- Mechanical Principles.
- Instrumentation and Control.
- Electrical and Electronics Principles.
- HVAC
- Hydraulic and Pneumatic Principles.
Des joined the programme with the first group in January 2017 and is the second person to complete the training.
The standard of his work, consisting of in course assessments, virtual practical work and multiple-choice end tests has been excellent and has been submitted in typed format. He managed his time extremely efficiently; I would recommend him for a Certificate of Merit.
