I have successfully led a high-performing team of Tanker Drivers & Operators, ensuring their safety, training, and compliance with Logistics UK regulations. I have also managed vehicle maintenance, leases, and inspections, as well as delivering fleet bulletins and monitoring DriveTech systems.
In addition to my transport skills, responsibilities, I have also contributed to the operations and processes of various Veolia contracts, including the AVSE project, South West Water, and Anglian Water. I have demonstrated high level of process knowledge, technical skills, and adaptability in managing and delivering small industrial cleaning projects, confined spaces, polymers and centrifuge operations, and sludge treatment efficiencies. I have also worked with contractors, audited work, and issued permits, following the highest standards of health and safety. I hold the IOSH Managing Safely and Mines Rescue Managing Confined Spaces certifications.
I am motivated by meeting KPIs, staying within budgets, and improving site performance and efficiencies. I am keen to continue my career journey to the next level and seek opportunities to build on my experience and skills.
