Alan Michael Wilkinson
Norwich
Summary
I started my career with a CECOL Scaffolding course in 1977 sponsored by SGB and have since worked for a variety of scaffolding companies. Whilst working at Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station, I obtained NEBOSH General Certificate and IOSH Managing Safety Certificate in 2004. I am an experienced scaffolding professional with a comprehensive understanding of scaffold design and advanced scaffolding techniques. My CV demonstrates a long career in scaffolding both onshore and offshore but I am now facing redundancy and looking for a change in path which I hope will be rewarding. I am committed to recycling and feel that a role as a recycling operative would be well suited to me. I consider myself approachable and helpful. As a scaffolder, I am acutely aware of safety needs of the environment, myself and others around me. I also consider myself sociable and a keen team player.
