Apprentices success story

A perfect score for MDL Apprentices

MDL has recently lost 3 of its Apprentices – seeing them all graduate into qualified technicians!

Evaldas, Daniel and Liam successfully completed their 4-year apprenticeships in their respective specialities: electrical, fabrication and hydraulics.

Each of the young recruits impressed their team leads with their focus, hard work and dedication to MDL values, especially in delivering high quality of service to each client every time.


During their apprenticeship, they experienced all aspects of working in MDL: from assembly of new electro-hydraulic systems for the company’s rental fleet, to performing Asset Maintenance & Engineering scopes at clients’ onshore and offshore production facilities, to mobilising and operating MDL equipment on overseas flex-lay projects.
