Lachlan Jacobson

Started my career as a Qualified Fitter and Turner with MechElec NT. Have spent most of my time at the Channel Island Power Station doing a GE TM2500 install. I have also done contracting work for NPE doing Pump servicing and other Pump work/testing using flow charts. I am currently supervising a crew of 5 guys at the Beetaloo Basin drilling/fracking site in Daly Waters (7 hours out of Darwin) for MechElec NT, building 3 tanks for Tambouran Resources alongside Riptide Energy.

I finished my apprenticeship with Monadelphous after they won the Contract at the inpex Onshore LNG processing facility. Where I also spent many months in the machine shop making parts and equipment.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to start my Fitter and Turner apprenticeship in the Oil and Gas industry on the inpex onshore LNG processing facility for Trace JV, where I was involved in 2 major shutdowns (one being a hot gas path inspection on a Frame 7 turbine). I also spent Months at a time in the machine shop making parts and equipment for production.
