Profile
A highly motivated individual and strong team player who can be relied on to deliver results in a high-
pressure environment. Professional and resourceful with the ability to use initiative to solve problems
in demanding situations. A self-starter who is task and result focused with a keen eye for detail.
Flexible and adaptable with a strong work ethic and commitment to professional development.
Key Skills
 Communication: A strong communicator which is demonstrated by the ability to
communicate to a wide range of people. During my deployment to Canada, I was required to
give detailed and technical information to a variety of stake holders, both military and civilian.
 Planning, logistics and administration: A skilled planner in the logistical world who is able
to administer equipment on a variety of computer systems. I successfully planned and
executed the movement of weapons and stores to Cyprus for a training exercise. This
involved moving data from different systems and producing all paperwork required to run an
armoury in the field.
 Dedicated: A very dedicated person who is required to meet evolving deadlines on a regular
basis. I would deliver access to weapons and stores with little to no notice at any time of the
day or night while troops were deployed.
 Goal orientated: A highly goal orientated person who enjoys a reputation for completing
tasks to a high standard, in a professional manner. Most recently I took charge of a poorly
managed environment and within a short period, rewrote and implemented new standards
and operating procedures that have since set the standard for other similar working
environments.
Experience
July 2014 – Present
Tasked to maintain the overhead telephone network throughout Kent. This involves using specialised
heavy mechanical equipment to replace/erect telephone poles and aerial cable. Lots of customer
contact in person and via electronic means. Working as part of a small team, I do lots of forward
planning for the work required and carry out risk assessments on a daily basis. Safety is extremely
important due to the heavy machinery used and I constantly complete checks of the work area to
ensure the safety of both my colleagues and the customers/public. While operating the heavy
machinery, I have to have great awareness and control ensuring all safety precautions are taken. This
is a physically, and mentally demanding role, working in many difficult situations, under high pressure
and in all weather.
Aug 2011 – March 2014
Tasked with the day to day running of an armoury containing 7 different weapon systems totalling
over 350 weapons worth over £500,000. Improved the accounting and accountability process to
enhance the operational capabilities of the armoury. Trained members of staff in the practices
required to successfully operate the armoury which included familiarisation of two different military
computer systems.

July 2010 – Aug 2011
Maintained the kit used by an Army recruiting team which gave school children a look at military life.
This involved preparing, issuing and demonstrating how the kit is correctly used, and deploying with
the children to help facilitate the exercise experience.
Nov 2008 – Jul 2010
Having spent a number of years in the logistical side of the military, I was now trusted to run an
armoury with some limited help from a colleague. Accounting for all the weapon systems on a daily
basis was the main task which involved great attention to detail on my part. When the weapons were
returned after use I was expected to check that correct procedures had been followed, by the users,
in order to maximise the weapons effectiveness and lifespan.
Apr 2008 – Nov 2008
Worked with a defence contractor to deliver a simulate view of the Prairie training area in Canada
using a simulated Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Communicated the relevant data required to
enhance exercising troops training in a high-pressure environment. Became the subject matter expert
in the delivery of UAV feeds, and was tasked to plan and deliver presentations of these capabilities to
visiting dignitaries including the Chief of General Staff (CGS). The officers I was interacting with in the
field constantly mistook me for someone of a much higher rank than I was. This was due to my
technical knowledge, attitude and professionalism while in their presence.
Oct 2006 – Apr 2008
Moved into the logistical side of the military helping to maintain the stores required for my company to
effectively operate in the field. This would involve keeping relevant paperwork up to date,
demonstrating and enforcing correct procedures to maximise the effectiveness of the stores being
used. Also helped to run the armoury which contained many different types of weapon systems
totalling over £500,000.
Apr 2006 – Oct 2006
During a second tour in Iraq I took on a new role as an armoured vehicle driver for the commanding
officers (CO’s) tactical rover group. This was a huge responsibility and privilege for me as I was
trusted to drive for my CO and his officers during many different operations. Due to the need for the
CO to maintain the required discretion on his movements and locations, this became a very intense
tasking which required my full commitment. I had to successfully split my time between the tasking’s
given to me as the CO’s driver, and the essential vehicle maintenance required to keep the CO’s
vehicle in good working order.
Oct 2004 – Apr 2006
Moved to Germany with my unit and took on a new role in the anti-tank platoon. Lots of training was
required to become competent with the weapons and vehicles that the platoon were required to use.
The main role was taking part in training exercises to confirm our readiness to successfully deploy
when needed.
Jun 2004 – Oct 2004
Worked as part of a small team within my unit while deployed to Iraq. This involved a basic rotation
pattern of one day on QRF (Quick Reaction Force) one day on maintenance and one day of rest.
While on QRF, we would be available to deploy into the local area at 5 minute’s notice to support
other military units in trouble, or respond to local disturbances of any kind. The Maintenance day
would consist of maintaining our unit’s vehicles making sure they were in good working order and
battle ready. The rest days often became working days to maintain base security.
