Summary

Highly motivated HV and Fibre Optic Assistant with a solid technical background gained across wind farms, substations, and large-scale energy projects. Experienced in supporting HV jointers and fibre optic engineers with all stages of installation, preparation, testing, and documentation. Skilled in HV cable preparation, sheath removal, armour handling, termination assistance, cable pulling, routing, and maintaining safe working distances in high-voltage environments. Competent in carrying out continuity checks, supporting isolation activities, and following strict permit-to-work systems.
Proficient in fusion splice preparation—including cleaning, stripping, and cleaving—and in assisting engineers with FO splicing and OTDR testing procedures. Strong understanding of correct fibre protection, bend-radius control, cable dressing, and labelling to ensure long-term reliability and compliance with project standards.
Previously worked as an Blade Repair Technician, performing advanced rotor blade inspections, structural repairs, composite laminations, grinding, sanding, and precision finishing. This experience enhanced my ability to follow technical procedures, maintain high quality standards, and work safely at height and in challenging conditions.
Known for reliability, excellent teamwork, and the ability to support technicians effectively during demanding deadlines. Demonstrates strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the discipline required to work around HV equipment. Maintains clear communication with supervisors, engineers, and safety teams to ensure safe and efficient project execution. Holds positive references from management and has achieved zero incidents in all previous roles.
Open to new career opportunities within HV cable jointing teams, FO installation teams, and offshore/onshore energy sectors.
