PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Accomplished, highly skilled, versatile and experienced Irata Level 1 Overhead Linesman Professional who enjoys responsibility and thrives on challenge, I have enjoyed a successful career spanning 10 years working on numerous fast track contracts all over the UK and most recently in Canada. During that time I have gained a vast and varied skillset and extensive expertise in all aspects of transmission and distribution overhead line work, carrying out a variety of jobs from blocking and clipping, spacering and de-spacering to assembling and erecting of towers. I was privileged to have been involved in the diversion works and tower erection and dismantling for the London 2012 Olympics. As a Journeyman in Canada, my main project of work was the 500kv Western Alberta transmission line which entailed Helicopter operations carrying out rigging, test lifting and preparation works for flying of towers using the Erickson air crane and then back bolting once structures had been flown. Currently working as a Self-Employed Level 1 Rope Access Technician, I pride myself on my ability to source and utilize the best methods to complete projects and works timely, efficiently and safely.

Flexible and adaptable with a love of the outdoors, I thrive within a dynamic, pressurized and constantly changing environment, spending the first 5 years of my working life in the Army, joining Balfour Beatty in 2001 as a Road Maintenance Operative, prior to starting my Linesman career. A highly articulate and diligent team player with strong initiative and outstanding organizational skills, I enjoy leading by example, aiming for high standards of excellence in every task I undertake, prioritising tasks, working to deadlines and achieving project goals in a safe and efficient manner. I have a genuine passion for the technical aspects of the industry and am thoroughly focused on continuing to forge a long term career in this field. Highly competent, I believe that my vast skillset and experience, coupled with my strong work ethic and determination to succeed would help me to achieve a smooth transition to a new UK based Overhead Linesman, Rope Access Technician, or Telecoms Rigger role and make me a valuable asset to any team.
