Blue Tongue’s Electrical Trade to Instrumentation Managed Up-Skilling program has been built for the specific needs of the oil and gas industry in the area of E&I maintenance.

In 2013, Blue Tongue piloted its first Electrical to Instrumentation Up-Skill program in Chinchilla, QLD. For the 18 month pilot, our client partner was Transfield Services (now Broadspectrum Limited), a major contractor for British Gas. Blue Tongue sourced and hired skilled maintenance electricians and Up-Skilled them to work as instrumentation electricians.

The project achieved great results, with at least 90% of the employees achieving their career goals to work at E&I technicians.

Whilst oil and gas project activity peaks and troughs in Australia, the demographics for skilled maintenance workers in E&I is set to create headaches for industry.

Aligning with Blue Tongue puts your organisation in a position of control as you move into the future.

Our Managed Up-Skill program isn’t an online certificate – it is practical employment and training on real rigs and equipment.

It is custom designed specifically to ensure that our employees are able to commence work on day one as a competent technician.

During the initial training block, our electricians receive Recognition of Prior Learning for competencies already achieved in their electrical apprenticeships.

They are then trained in Hazardous Areas and the competencies for the Cert IV in Electrical Instrumentation. In total, the Up-Skilled electricians receive the following qualifications:

Cert IV Hazardous Areas
Cert IV Electrical Instrumentation
Cert III Electrical Instrumentation and Control
Cert III Special Class Electrician (optional – if requested by client)

The facilities available at our training partner organisation are industry leading. A simulated work environment is created for the electricians, which is specifically set up for the oil and gas industry.

Once the initial training is completed, Blue Tongue manages the transition to site. Blue Tongue then continues to manage any additional required training until completion of the full qualifications.

At this time, we facilitate and assist our employees to transition to direct client employment.

This Managed Up-Skill program gives local Australians an opportunity to begin on a real career path in a highly sought after industry. It’s a win-win for all parties involved.
