Summary

I am from the UK, I have my permanent resident card and a work permit.


I am a hardworking, dedicated and loyal person, I think 23 years at the same company backs this statement up.


Now I am ready for the next chapter in my career after being laid off from my my most recent employment.


I am a bit rusty in my solidworks/CAD skills as I used a custom plug in for the last 13 years. I am willing to be trained and do pick things up very quickly, please take this into account.


I strive to be challenged daily and I am always up for that challenge. I enjoy pushing myself to be the most efficient in what I do. I am a great communicator and I am nit afraid to voice my opinions when it is required. I work well in teams and I am also happy to work alone. I have great time management skills.
