CNR International picked up the Student Placement awards at this year's Northern Stars Business Awards, and were presented the title by sponsors Robert Gordon University.
Robert Gordon University (RGU) Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Student Miquel Marcos says his placement with CNRL provided him with an exceptionally diverse and enriching exposure to the oil and gas industry.
He said: “During my student placement at CNRL, where I worked alongside the development team, the company demonstrated a remarkable commitment to ensuring that my experience was as productive as possible.
“First, CNRL provided me with an exceptionally diverse and enriching exposure to the oil and gas industry. Rather than confining me to a limited set of tasks, the company encouraged me to engage in a wide range of projects. From hands-on experiences, such as ROV inspections and visiting rigs to delving into geology and smart completions, I was exposed to a breadth of knowledge and skills development that is rarely seen in a typical internship program.
“My visit to the Well Safe Guardian rig was a testament to CNRL's unwavering commitment to the well-being of its workers.
“CNRL actively supported my educational journey. I had the privilege of interacting with industry experts with many years of experience, deepening my understanding of the critical roles such as subsurface geology and subsea, both of which play a vital role in the oil and gas industry.
“On a personal level, CNRL's support and mentorship contributed significantly to my growth. The company not only provided insights into the technical aspects of the industry but also emphasized the importance of teamwork, problem-solving, and effective communication. This holistic approach to personal and professional development went beyond the standard internship experience.”
