To support the expansion of a range of new Mechanical and Electrical courses on offer at our Aberdeen training centre, we’re delighted to welcome two new lead instructors to the 3t family, Les Lobban and Rob Sellar.
As experienced training professionals, the pair will be instrumental in supporting future industry talent and facilitating the growth of some of our brand-new training courses. Find out more about Les and Rob below.
Les Lobban, Lead Mechanical Instructor
Starting his career as a trainee with Baker Hughes, Les has since progressed, taking on subsequent roles at a technical level, supervising, and then as a project engineer.
Les’ impressive CV highlights his extensive experience in long-term positions, including his role at EnerMech, where he gained vital operational experience and delivered training. Additionally, as the Training Competence Team Lead at IKM Testing, he developed bespoke pressure testing courses for industry giants such as Harbour Energy, Equinor, and Total.
With 12 years of operational experience working offshore, Les has the tools, knowledge to make training highly engaging and relatable to delegates. With his extensive experience in developing courses on leak detection, hydro-testing, and accumulator charging, Les will enable 3t to significantly expand its mechanical training offerings.
Rob Sellar, Lead Electrical Instructor
Rob’s distinguished career spans a range of roles within the energy and oil & gas sectors, starting with his early experience as a Mining Electrician at the National Coal Board.
Progressing into the oil & gas industry, Rob has worked onshore and offshore for companies such as Texaco, Wood Group, and Saudi Aramco, generating vital operational experience in supervisory roles. Transitioning from operations to training, Rob spent 17 years specialising in instrumentation training with ASET, passing his expertise to the next generation.
Rob’s knowledge and expertise will be instrumental to 3t, where his first task will be establishing a brand-new CompEx facility. This facility will enable us to offer CompEx Ex01-Ex04 training in Aberdeen for the first time. By introducing this, we can meet the local demand for training, eliminating the need for participants to travel long distances.
In his new role, Rob will help us introduce a diverse range of electrical courses, including HVG switching, an essential practice for offshore operations in the oil & gas and wind industries.
