Mariah Corfield

Plant Refurb Electrician Apprentice

Before joining Story Contracting in 2018, Mariah was an Electrical Technician at M-Sport. She was interested in broadening her electrical knowledge and looking for a more hands-on role.
As an apprentice plant refurb electrician, Mariah’s role involves wiring the many machines and attachments within the workshop as well as general fitting tasks like assembling machine parts and other refurbishment activities.

“I take great satisfaction in my role at Story Contracting, especially with the electrical activities. When you have spent a lot of time wiring something up it makes it worthwhile when you switch it on and everything works as it should.”

After leaving The Nelson Thomlinson School in Wigton, Cameron applied for an Apprenticeship with Story Contracting. He was drawn to the company because of its reputation and large plant fleet.
As an apprentice Plant Operator, Cameron’s role includes a number of tasks such as plot works and drainage works. He has also recently completed a Dumper Ticket and his next challenge will be to use a 360 Excavator above 10 tonnes within his first six months.

“My favourite thing about the Apprenticeship with Story Contracting is being able to get hands-on experience in an area in which I have always been interested.”

“It’s so useful to get together with the rest of the Apprentices on a regular basis, and because of the Apprentice induction programme, we’re given the opportunity to get to know people really quickly right from the offset.”

Matt Davies
