A pedigree developed from the early 1990s and our roots as Enron Power Operations Limited, px delivers award winning professional, competent and high quality Operations, Management and Maintenance (OM&M) solutions to asset owners that do not want the responsibility associated with Employment, Environmental and Safety legislation and regulation. Within our portfolio are a gas plant, a gasport, a combined heat and power plant in Cumbria, a bio-diesel plant in Immingham and our energy management centre on Teesside where our support functions – HR, IT, Finance and Commercial are based.

Additional capability within the px group includes dedicated commercial teams to negotiate, contract, trade and reconcile the energy or commodities consumed or produced by the facilities in question, Energy 24, as well as a specialist subsidiary providing consultancy relating to plant and process optimisation and IT systems and infrastructure, px solutions. All of these skills are provided by the group’s own pool of approximately 200 staff located at our operational sites or the energy management centre on Teesside.

Quality Mark – What it means to us

We really value the contributions that undergraduates make at px, and see them as a valuable asset to our organisation. The px Undergraduate Development Programme has a 100% success rate with many undergraduates excelling so much that they are offered sponsorship throughout their final year at university and a place on the px Graduate Development Programme, a two year extensive development programme when they complete their studies.

We needed to ensure that we are delivering what our undergraduates want and need, as a means of remaining competitive in the undergraduate recruitment market and contributing to the development of future leaders in our organisation, industry and region. The Quality Mark provides the ideal method to benchmark the px Undergraduate Development Programme and implement improvements whilst continuing to attract ambitious and innovative undergraduates that have the potential to make a big impact on our organisation. Gaining accreditation has given our programme the credibility we always believed it had. As one of the first organisations based in the North to gain accreditation, we believe that we will stand out from our competitors, and continue to attract and employ innovitative and successful undergraduates onto the px Undergraduate Development Programme.
