I am a very practical, hard working and clear thinking individual, who having completed a technical engineering apprenticeship moved on to complete an HNC in mechanical engineering design. I have progressed through my career gaining both the respect and trust of my work colleagues leading to various promotions, which I attribute to my personal qualities, technical knowledge, ability to adapt, significant effort and dedication to my work.I am an excellent team leader and communicator at all levels and have the ability to motivate others. I have always prided myself on my approach to the embrace of new technology and recognise that in a world of increasing competition, there is a real need to constantly re-evaluate and train in new disciplines. I also believe that to be successful, there is a definite need for multidisciplinary and adaptable people within all organisations. I have extensive customer facing experience at all levels as well as a hands on approach to projects. I also have excellent organisational skills, product knowledge, commercial awareness, customer focus, flexibility, planning and resilience along with the ability to use Microsoft products including Microsoft Word, Excel and Project, and the ability to work to pre-determined timescales and budgets. I also have knowledge of precision machining, hydraulics, pneumatics and automation gained during my time as a mechanical designer. Due to the nature of the industry in which I currently work, a clear focus on Health and safety is a priority. Combining my qualities, both technical and personal, along with my broad experience gained mainly as a designer within a precision mechanical engineering environment and latterly as a senior project Manager within the construction Industry, I believe that I would be a valuable asset to any organisation.
