OBJECTIVE
I am an extremely motivated and dedicated individual and I am passionate about my job. I am always looking to
improve my skills. Having worked in the oil and gas and construction sector since my apprenticeship I have
accrued a wealth of knowledge about the industry I work in. I have a keen eye for detail and provide quality
workmanship for clients/employers; making me a trusted employee and an asset to any company I work for.
With health and safety always at the forefront of my mind, I ensure that not only my work but work carried out
by those around me is performed in a safe manner. I am presently seeking a new and challenging environment
that will allow me to further develop my skills and where I will be able to use my experience to assist others.

LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES
I have worked as a Charge Hand and Supervisor. At the peak of a recent major construction project I was
supervising 17 tradesman including pipefitters, mechanical fitters and welders. To add to that number I had to
organise crane crews, scaffolding crews, trades assistants and painters to ensure the tradesman could carry out
their work safely and to planned schedules. I also had to deliver pre-start talks, de-briefs, toolbox talks and
attend Supervisors meetings.
