Pictured here are former oil and gas workers Carl Hills and Bryan Marshall, who were made redundant last year. Happily, they have now secured new jobs – two of 100 new wind turbine technicians – helping to assemble the 56 x 6MW German-built turbines for the Galloper Offshore Wind Farm at a pre-assembly yard in Great Yarmouth. Former RAF engineer Marshall, 36, was a mechanical hydraulic engineer. Made redundant in 2015, he moved into a lower level offshore job for a year before facing redundancy again. He said: “The wind industry can use a lot of the skills I already have. I can do mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and working at height. I’m enjoying the training and looking forward to starting work.”
