Summary
I have worked in various industries since leaving school in 2017 such as construction and the logistics industry. These have made me a very enthusiastic, hard working and reliable person. This also comes with being punctual, completing jobs to a very high standard and communicational skills. I excel in team work and using my own initiative. These two roles have also taught me how important Health and Safety is for not only myself but also my colleagues.
Since joining NIE Networks in 2023, I realised how rewarding it is to work for the company and the progression with in the company which has sparked my interest in wanting to become an underground cable jointer. My current role has interacting with cable jointers has furthered my interest to learn about the trade and to one day be one myself.
