I am looking for a permanent or part time role in anything but preferably in my professional role as transmission/journeyman lineman anywhere in the world.

About Me

I'm 38 and up until April 2015 i had been living and working in Alberta Canada. I had been there since June2013. I really enjoyed this time so I'm applying for permanent/dual residency.

I am currently staying in the UK. I have been a transmission linesman since Jan 2006 working my way fromtrainee to leading hand/chargehand. I have been fortunate enough to work on a large range of projects inmany different locations including anoverseas secondment to New Zealand for 14 months. Before this i spent almost 10 years as a FLT operator working at a factory in my home town i was responsiblefor many duties and often worked alone.

I'm a very hard worker and take a lot of pride in the job I do. Working long and unsociable hours has neverbothered me. I'm also a quick learner which helps me adapt and help others which has been handy as eachcountry has its own particular way of doing things. I enjoy passing on my acquired skills and knowledge to thetrainees and its nice when they remind me when they're qualified .

I look forward to hearing from you soon.Willing to relocate: Anywhere
