Working in Construction for over 25 years I have gained extensive on-site experience in both manual and supervisory roles. More recently I have added further experience in a management role as a Site Engineer.
In 1999 while working on the roof of a building I stepped on a skylight and fell approximately 45 feet onto concrete below. This resulted in serious spinal injuries, and I was signed off work for a minimum of 12 months. During my recovery period my focus had always been to return to my job as a Steel Erector which I did in November 2000. Unfortunately, because of the physical nature of the job, I realised this wasn’t going to be possible and I had to reconsider my options. I enrolled on an Access course in 2001 and in 2006 graduated with a Degree in Civil Engineering. I secured a position with a Design Consultancy but found that I wasn’t suited to an office-based role and have since concentrated on more site based or inspection related jobs.
