Employee stories
Ashley Flemming
Operation & Maintenance Project Coordinator
At VPI, I've found a career that is both fulfilling and rewarding with fantastic long-term prospects. After starting out as an apprentice 9 years ago, VPI has supported my growth where I’m now an Operation & Maintenance Project Coordinator.I'm proud to contribute to VPI's vision of reliable energy for the UK's power network and have had the opportunity to play a key role in projects that are moving us towards a future of sustainable energy. One such experience was leading the installation of a 141-foot pipe bridge.
Jamie Blunn
Shift Team Leader
I like working at a company where I know that I’m directly helping to supply critical electricity to hospitals, schools and homes. The company is forward thinking and it’s motivating to be part of pioneering projects like Humber Zero, which is focused on decarbonising power through carbon capture.My career at VPI has been diverse. From starting on an Engineering Graduate Programme to a role in operations and now my current role as a Shift Team Leader, where I continue to learn and grow every day. I also recently co-led a school visit event, providing early careers support and inspiring the next generation of engineers.
Fungai Nyamayauta
Mechanical Engineer
To me, VPI means growth and development. I joined the company on their graduate development program and now help graduates and students myself. I’m grateful to be able to fulfil my role, supporting coordination of large scale outages, as well as ensuring operation safety and reliability of our equipment.It’s brilliant to be part of a company that invests in its people and bridges the gap between present and future — not just in power generation, but also in sharing knowledge. To make an even greater impact in the future, I'm pursuing a master's degree in renewable energy technologies, all supported by VPI.
