Stuart Sharpe

Kyle Stewart

Mechanical Project Engineer

“I enjoy the challenge of taking on new projects and seeing them through the design, build and installation processes until it is finished.

One day I could be designing an Energy Centre for district heating and the next I will be working on a Bridge Scraper or Chemical Dosing unit for water treatment. Every day is different.”

Brona McPeake

Project Engineer

“I love how Colloide provides a full end to end service, from in-house manufacturing capability through to on-site installation and commissioning.

I get to learn and gain experience from my fellow colleagues as well as share my own experiences.”

Jonny Ferguson

SHEQ Co-Ordinator

“It’s a highly rewarding profession that involves supporting health and wellbeing and keeping workers safe so they can return home to their loved ones. Forget the stereotypes – it’s not just about clipboards and hi-vis jackets.

My favourite aspect of working for Colloide is the variety of work. I love that every day presents me with different challenges. I really enjoy interacting with the different employees, subcontractors and clients and knowing I’m having a positive impact on their SHEQ experience.”

Andrew McDowell

Mechanical Engineer

“The best thing about my job is completing a project and seeing machinery I have designed working in the field.

I was first attracted to the role at Colloide as the energy sector is facing an interesting and challenging time with a move away from traditional methods towards new and developing solutions to deal with environmental issues. These issues are coming more and more to the forefront of people’s minds.”
