Simon Vickers

A dedicated worker with great problem-solving skills and experience, providing fast and functional engineering support to clients and onsite teams. Comfortable providing on-the-spot repairs or giving technical instructions remotely. An enthusiastic engineer with over 30 years of experience, extensively in FMCG and Food Manufacturing companies, helping to secure team success through hard work, attention to detail and excellent organisation skills. Happy to share all gained knowledge to achieve great results and able to communicate with staff at all levels, including Operators, Engineers and Company Owners. A strong team player, but also happy working alone and unsupervised.

I have a very keen interest in music, both playing it and listening to it. I am self-taught on both the guitar and piano and am currently building myself a new guitar. My wife is an amateur Burlesque performer, so I often attend Burlesque shows, either with her or to support her. We often attend our local theatres and comedy venues, watching a wide variety of shows and artistes. Steampunk events are also favourites for us both.

I am fully experienced in the use of many computer software packages and frequently use these to produce detailed reports that are required during my work duties. I have also successfully completed separate courses in Communication Skills and Negotiation Skills. I consider myself to be thorough and methodical in my work, although the ability to adapt to sudden changes in circumstance and to "think on my feet" is something that I possess.
