Summary
I am a hardworking technically aware individual who is always looking to
push myself. I find that I can adapt quickly to a new work environment, utilising my experience and initiative to become a valuable member of any team, whether I am required to work on my own or as part of a team. I always
complete all tasks to the highest standard and my employers to date have endorsed this, quickly gaining confidence in my reliability and work ethic.
During my many roles I have often been called to take a lead role which
involved liaising with clients and discussing project plans, control of all work documentation and setting to work teams of up to 6 men including taking out
permits, conducting pre job briefs and toolbox talks and also writing up work procedures for commissioning and maintenance work.
I am an extremely motivated individual and always willing to learn, develop
and improve my skills. My experience working within Power Generation,
mining, pharmaceuticals and within the Oil & Gas Industry is a solid
foundation in which to build from. My industry knowledge along with my
experience as an Electrical, Instrument and Controls Engineer will help me to
excel within this job role and I would appreciate the opportunity to prove my
ability.
