Summary
With over 10 years experience in the renewable energy and electrical industry, I've built a broad range of skills both on site and in the office. Alongside electrical and solar PV work, I've prepared quotations, designed PV systems, managed stock and deliveries, ordered materials, and worked closely with clients, consultants, suppliers and installation teams throughout projects. I've also led installation teams on commercial and residential projects, ensuring work was completed safely, on time and to a high standard. I'm now looking to move into an office-based role where I can use my organisation, communication and technical knowledge to support project delivery.
