The 3 weeks on, 3 weeks off schedule offers an outstanding work-life balance, providing ample time to focus on work while also enjoying extended periods of rest and personal time. This rotation allows for a healthy separation between professional and personal life, helping to maintain energy and motivation while preventing burnout. This is what our Chef Manager Steven Kellighan says about rotational work in Shetland:
Working for Sodexo in Shetland is very rewarding in many aspects. Sure, being away from my family for 3 weeks might be challenging but once the trip is done and it’s time to go home the time off with them makes it all worthwhile.
In Shetland I love to get out for walks/cycling after work particularly in the long summer months where it doesn’t get dark for very long.
Within the accommodation at Sella Ness there is a fully equipped and modern 24/7 gym on site. The Bar is also great place to socialise with friends and colleagues. The Meals provided to us are all nutritionally balanced and there is always a plentiful selection.
You can literally work for 3 weeks and not spend any money if you want to!
The Shetland Gas Plant has just recently reached the milestone of 7 years LTI.
A real testament to the safety culture in our workplace where we are all taught to prioritise safety ahead of all else in what we do. We are all provided with the PPE and training to make sure we all make it home safe at the end of every trip.
