Summary
Practical, hands‑on operative with extensive outdoor experience and a strong safety focus. I have worked as a railway arborist, domestic tree surgeon and reinstatement operative on Northern Gas sites, developing robust physical capability, fault‑finding instincts and the ability to remain calm under pressure. I deliver clear, evidence‑based site reporting, challenge unsafe practices and build effective working relationships with colleagues, contractors and customers. I am eager to apply my practical, hands‑on experience to a Network Operations Technician role, with a strong commitment to pollution control and sewerage performance. I am adaptable to varied rotas, available for out‑of‑hours standby, and prepared to complete all required medical assessments and confined‑space training.
