Summary
I have spent the last two decades across multiple engineering and maintenance sectors which has given me a broad base of skills. Having spent time on the customer side as well as the delivery end has given me a very good understanding of how to solve problems in an efficient, safe and timely manner.
Being able to do so has also allowed me to deliver value for the work i undertake. I am looking for a new opportunity in a business that likes to take on the impossible and do things differently.
