Work history

Motor winder, Fitter and Site Engineer

Elevated Engineering NW LTD
10.2021 - 08.2025
  • Working both independently and as part of a team, to the highest engineering standards of precision and attention to fine detail. My role requires me to manage my own projects, and ensure that any collaborators deliver their work on time.
  • My role requires me to ensure I always meet deadlines, as I often work with external stakeholders to ensure that multiple parties are ready to deliver the projects at set times. This requires constant communication as unexpected challenges often arise, particularly with larger projects. This often leads to producing high quality work with a quick turnaround time, which usually needs to go into immediate production. This has also allowed me to further develop my skills of precision measurements and an eye for fine details as there is very little room for error. I typically lead the implementation of my own work for our customers which allows me to troubleshoot any problems if required. This has given me a lot of experience with ownership of my own workload, as any error would be my own responsibility.

  • My role was to understand the scope and requirements of projects that customers required, and produce the work to order through a mixture of face-to-face communication and via email. My position here also required me to work with third-party suppliers directly. This allowed me to gain a lot of experience communicating with external customers and suppliers, often requiring my own expert knowledge to make decisions when limited information has been provided by customers.

A BIT ABOUT JOHN

I live with Fiancé whom I have recently bought a house with in Stockport. We both enjoy playing board games, going for walks and exploring new places. We've been working on a 30-before-30 challenge, trying to visit 30 different countries before 30 years old., I'm a fantasy nerd so when I'm not watching the extended version of the Lord of the Rings or the Star Wars prequels, I'm playing DND. I can promise in advance not to wear my wizards robes to the office (unless you insist)., I'm a Liverpool FC fan but I live next door to Stockport County Football Club so my partner and I may be found in the stands enjoying a Bovril and pie with the match.
