Profile
I am a diligent, dedicated, loyal, vigilant, problem solving individual who, as career history illustrates, is disciplined, motivated and physically fit and healthy. Military training has developed my following abilities to: work away from home for prolonged periods; remain calm, think clearly and successfully resolve high pressure situations when under stress; prioritise and organise tasks ensuring that all are met on time. My career history also demonstrates excellent team/lone working (whether supervised or not), interpersonal and customer service skills, as well as an adaptable and flexible approach to work, e.g. in terms of hours/ shifts worked.
I am currently seeking employment within the Renewable energy sector. I have completed relevant training and qualifications in this area. In addition I have had practical training, such as Painting/Blasting, Banksman, Rigging, Slinging. I am looking for the opportunity to show the skills I have learnt and would prove to be an asset to your organisation.
