With offices in Cambridge and Peterborough I was a senior recruitment consultant to the civil engineering and construction industry. I was responsible for interviewing and vetting both temporary and permanent labour, dealing with contractual issues, payroll and sales. Having a trade background as an industrial painter meant I had a good understanding of site health and safety, compliance and working operations. With a regular temporary workforce of 75-100 people placed with contractors such as Mcalpines, Mowlems, Laing's, Wates and Amec, organisational skills were paramount to maintain a successful division. Operating a 24hr on call system for clients and staff gave me the ability to problem solve under pressure maintaining company credibility and client satisfaction.
