Equinor are running taster days at Dogger Bank Operations Base in August to try to meet some of the work experience need for local young people. They are running on 15 and 27 August for 14 – 19 year olds. If you can get to the Port of Tyne gates, we will then bus you up to the base, do a vessel tour and lunch onboard, meet engineers and various roles at the wind farm and have a go on a test rig, something that is often used on assessment days for apprenticeships.
We have 15 places each day.
