Summary

I am a fully qualified Electrician with over 10 years of experience in the electrical industry, currently working on a self-employed basis. I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience across a wide range of installations, including lighting, various wiring systems, and full inspection, testing, and commissioning of electrical works. I hold the 18th Edition qualification and place a strong emphasis on working safely, efficiently, and to the highest professional standards.

Testing and inspecting is a key part of my week-to-week work, ensuring systems are fully compliant with regulations. I regularly carry out safe isolations and detailed risk assessments, and I’m confident working both independently and as part of a team across domestic and commercial environments.

I’m passionate about my trade and always strive to do the best job possible. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening and take pride in keeping my space tidy and well-kept. I also volunteer at a local music school, helping young people build their confidence through music and creativity—something I find deeply rewarding.

After years of self-employment, I’m now looking for a new opportunity where I can challenge myself, be part of a forward-thinking team, and continue to grow professionally within a company that values quality, integrity, and development.
