Tupe from EA Electrical

Responsible for liaising with the main contractor (Morrisons) together with Shepway district council in the installation and testing of electrical services on Council buildings.Procurement of materials, team briefings and prioritising of tasks are all daily events that vary depending on the job. Health and safety and attention to detail are paramount within this role as much of the work is situated in a domestic housing environment. The role also includes being on call 24/7 on behalf of Shepway district council when requested whereby emergency events such as fire alarms sounding and power failures at properties require immediate attention and resolution.

Working in a small team we removed the old wiring and containment and updated the prison wings with modern tray, trunking and metal conduit. We were in charge of finding the best routes for the circuits utilising the risers around us and liaising with prison governors, site management and diamond drillers to ensure the completion of the installation was achieved within the timescale set for each wing.

Worked on various building sites around Kent including St Augustines Library - Canterbury, HMP Swaleside - Isle of Sheppey, Bouverie Shopping Centre - Folkestone, Westwood Cross - Thanet, Midkent College - Gillingham.

I worked in the technical office and have experience of over 350 projects of various sizes during my time here. Projects were sent to me at design stage from architects and I used my knowledge to advise and provide surface water drainage solutions for them. I used AutoCAD regularly to calculate surface areas and using our drainage software I could calculate the size of channel required for a number of variables such as storm flow return periods based upon location, surface permeability, attenuation, hydrobrakes and syphonic situations. The client would be sent a fully marked up drawing showing the optimum location of the drainage channels with outlet/accesspoint locations and supporting hydraulic calculations modelling the channel capacity under the situation requested. I worked regularly from the office in Dover and occasionally visited clients onsite to provide further help and technical support with project changes or installation issues. Once our product had been specified on a project I would create a bill of quantities that would go through to sales for a quotation to be produced.The channel and covers were manufactured in the factory below our office and I also liaised with the production manager, workers and haulage firms to ensure deliveries were met on time and that jobs were prioritised during busy periods, making sure the client/contractor was fully informed at all times.
