Summary

Having started in the electrical industry as an electrical apprentice and working my way up to Electrical supervisor I have gained a lot of experience working on a variety of projects of different size and complexity. This has allowed me to develop my skills in leading teams of different sizes and in dealing with different levels of management from the clients projects teams.

Working in a wide range of sectors such as Commercial, Retail, Life Sciences, Data Centres, Oil and Gas and Pharma I have developed my skills in scheduling, planning and problem solving with the view of delivering projects to meet with the clients expectations.

I have continued my education in later years by obtaining a MSc in Project Management and I will continue to focus on my personal development by continuing to learn new skills that will benefit me as I progress in my career.
