I am a graduate of the University of Strathclyde where I achieved a First Class BEng (Hons) reading Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. I then attended RMA Sandhurst and commisioned into the Corps of Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. I have managed a composite equipment support platoon of around 40 people within an Armoured Company in 4 Armoured Close Support Battalion REME at Tidworth. This requires problem solving and planning to maximise the capability of individuals and teams in the platoon. I am also required to manage the careers of a varied group of technicians from different trade groups balancing their wishes with capability gaps within my platoon.Currently I am assigned at ATR Winchester where I manage a much smaller team fro. varied backgrounds with the task of training the next generation of soldiers. A challanging but rewarding experience. I hope to go onto become a second in command of a company. which will see me manage a much larger team and deployments.
