What I'm looking for

I want hands-on roles where I can use technical skills and leadership, work safely under pressure, learn new systems, and contribute to a practical, team-focused environment.

I am a multi-skilled, reliable and hard-working professional with experience across distribution, manufacturing, retail and technical services. I work well under pressure and meet strict deadlines while maintaining high standards of safety and quality.

My background includes warehouse operations, production line work, shop floor and cashier roles, and hands-on technical installation and maintenance in satellite/aerial services. I am computer literate and comfortable using a range of tools and equipment.

I served as a Weapons Technician in the Royal Air Force, where I issued and maintained explosives, weapons and aircraft equipment, fitted safety systems, used precision measurement tools, and led teams to complete tasks safely and efficiently.

I bring strong interpersonal skills, a practical, hands-on approach, and leadership qualities that help maintain morale and productivity. I am quick to learn, adaptable, and committed to safe, effective work practices.
