Delia Coakley
@deliacoakley
Reliable operations professional with 8+ years in arboriculture, landscaping, and logistics.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly reliable and adaptable operations professional with over eight years' experience across arboriculture, landscaping, healthcare, and hospitality. I bring a strong work ethic, calm performance under pressure, and proven problem‑solving skills.
My background includes hands‑on technical arboriculture roles (climbing, chainsaw and aerial rescue certified), site logistics, equipment maintenance, and team coordination on fast‑paced projects. I consistently deliver safe, efficient completion of complex workloads.
I have experience supervising staff, training new workers, and communicating professionally with clients and site managers, which supports strong customer service and operational reliability. I maintain high standards in health and safety, risk assessment, and compliance.
I seek roles where I can apply my organisational, logistics, and safety expertise—particularly in administrative, warehouse, customer support, production, or operational positions—while continuing to learn and contribute to a dependable team environment.
