Summary

I feel my experience in working for a large company for the last 14 years has given me a fantastic platform to build on for the future . I have learnt many different things ranging from the day to day management of looking after what is the largest grounds maintenance rota at Vivid to how to deal with difficult situations and deescalating them and solving any complaints raised . I've had much more interaction with upper management in the past couple of years such as residents who are customers meetings where i am confident to get my point across when its needed .

However i feel i am capable of doing a lot more than what i have done for the last 14 years and i see a great challenge in that.

Work history

Grounds Maintenance Team Leader

Vivid Homes
Eastleigh, Hampshire
01.2011 - Current
  • As Team Leader I maintain the grounds of around 130 housing sites to a high standard which can be anything from grass and hedge cutting to tree works and more recently repainting of car park markings. This contributes to excellent customer satisfaction and creating a pleasant environment for people to live. I have the trust of my manager and supervisor to do things correctly with a right first time approach which is vital to the job role.
  • I am responsible for the operatives i work with,leading them by showing them the standards expected along with giving them appropriate training.
  • I enjoy working as part of the wider team and regularly take the lead on the bigger jobs ,some of which can be fairly challenging.
  • I'm equally adept at working alone and comfortable doing so ,as is often required when there are team absences
  • Most recently i have been involved in the roll out of a new dynamic job scheduling system by doing testing sessions with the IT department.

Track Marshall

Goodwood Festival of Speed
07.2024 - 07.2024

This was a casual job i did for the duration of the July 2024 Goodwood Festival Of Speed .

My main duty was to stop people crossing the track when cars were going up the famous hill and reopening when the lead Marshall gave the all clear ,maximum attention was required at all times.

It was a fantastic experience meeting so many wonderful people both colleagues and guests and being feet away from some of the most famous cars in the world is a bit special. I was promoted to crossing team leader by the 3rd day which meant a lot as it showed they trusted me to do it after such a short time and everything went perfectly.
