Summary
With a proven track record at AURORA ARC, I excel in leading teams through the complex installation of wind turbines, significantly enhancing project efficiency by implementing quality control measures. I am now looking forward to excelling in a different environment other than wind turbines. My expertise in high-risk work and my ability to mentor, coupled with robust problem-solving skills, drive operational excellence and safety compliance. I believe my 6 years as a Royal Marines Commando have armed me with a work ethic and persona that encourages other team members to follow.
