Summary
Experienced Electrical supervisor for one of the biggest factories in Carlisle, and one of the biggest electrical companies in Carlisle. I have supervised and overseen 2 large projects in my time at Park Gate. Both of which required precise man management skills and structuring of time tables and deadlines to ensure they finished both on time and within cost. I overseen every aspect of electrical commissioning ensuring standards were met and functionality was proved. I was responsible for keeping up to date records on site and following/enforcing correct health and safety procedures. All of this was done while also having a big hand in the installation side of the job which before I took on the supervisory role was my job. I have expertise in industrial control and supply systems. I have worked with single, three phase and high voltage (3.3kv) supply systems. I currently hold Compex qualifications in both gas and dust..EX01,02,03,04,05 and 06 and have my leave 3 award for inspection and testing. I work extremely well with others and have always motivated myself and others around me to work together to achieve our goals. I have vast experience in testing and inspecting electrical installations and also in producing condition reports on existing installations.
