Join us as we delve into Luis’s experiences, the unique culture at Full Circle, and his advice for those considering a career with us.
Could you start by telling us a bit about your background and how you came to join Full Circle?
Absolutely. I began my career with Enercon back in 2009 and worked there for nearly eight years. During my time with Enercon, I had the chance to move to the UK, but when I wasn’t offered a step-up program, I decided it was time to leave. That’s when Barry O’Docherty, one of the Service Managers. approached me with an opportunity to work for Full Circle as an Enercon specialist technician. I joined Full Circle in 2022, drawn by the promise of further development and career progression.
How did your role evolve at Full Circle, and what motivated you to make those changes?
After some time, I felt it was right to transition from a technician role to a more office-based position, providing remote support to technicians. Management supported this decision and offered me the opportunity to relocate from the UK to the Netherlands—a fresh start at the right time.
Despite receiving good offers from other companies, I was committed to Full Circle. They responded quickly when I expressed my desire to grow, offering training and support not just for me, but for all colleagues in similar situations.
I’ve recently started as an Operations Engineer, a role where I can drive long-term improvements and provide continued support. I’ll still visit turbines—just not as often as before!
How has this new role been for you?
The new role is a significant change from fault-finding and maintenance. My typica day is more relaxed now, starting with a bus ride to the office, a coffee, and then diving into my tasks. Even though I’m mostly behind a desk now, I still feel deeply connected to the work. I know that at the end of the day, my contributions help keep those turbines spinning.
How does Full Circle compare to other companies you've worked for in the industry?
There’s a stark difference. When I decided to leave my last job, they made no effort to retain me.
At Full Circle, when I expressed my desire to progress, everyone listened and asked how they could help. They didn’t just offer a new role—they shaped a position that suited me perfectly.
The collaboration and teamwork here are exceptional. No matter where we are—Netherlands, France, Italy, or the UK—we are Full Circle.
What advice would you give to someone considering a career with Full Circle?
My advice is simple: don’t hesitate, just apply and join us! Even if you lack experience, Full Circle provides ample opportunities for growth. It’s a great team to be part of, and they never deny training. If you have the desire, Full Circle will support you all the way.
