Personal statement
I am an experienced industry accredited Fibre Engineer with my own tools and splicer, working to a very high
specification. Previous clients include LAN2LAN, Computacenter UK, Atkins Group and NG Bailey. My key strengths
are the ability to communicate and understand people at all levels. I am keen to learn new skills and use them to the
best of my ability. I am an excellent timekeeper and approach problems in a logical manner. If given the opportunity, I
am able to offer a punctual, efficient and professional service to the customer whilst understanding their needs and
expectations; this would reflect well on the services that my employer offers. I’m fit with a positive attitude, and am self-
motivated, comfortable working unsupervised or as part of a team.
