Employers - Example Candidates - Engineering

I'm hard working always up for learning new skills and taking on new challenges. I enjoy working as part of a team as well as working as an individual using my own initiative to get the job done. When it comes to working I always aim to do my best and give 110% on every job that I do aiming to complete every job right first time . I enjoy problem solving and meeting different types of people everyday.

I have been involved with engineering in one form or another throughout my working career (both before and after my military service) and in training for over 30 years. I am a conscientious individual who is quick to learn new working practices and regulations. I have had extensive dealings at all levels of SAT training and can easily adapt this methodology to suit new situations. I enjoy travel and working away from home and I am prepared to relocate as required.

Worked with the British Army as a Royal Engineer for thirteen years using different skill sets. Experienced working and leading worldwide in a variety of environments with extensive knowledge and skills in a multitude of areas. Hard working and dedicated to improving the skills I have already acquired and learning new skills in another job role.

A widely experienced, adaptable and innovative Mechanical Engineering Manager with a background encompassing management in the maintenance and repair of a vast array of light and heavy vehicles, machinery, plant and special to role equipments. An effective leader, constructive problem solver and skilled communicator who is experienced in IT, health and safety, technical training and resource management. Tested in varying conditions and climates around the world and trained in the development and implementation of Engineering Systems at managerial level. Personable with excellent communication and organisational skills and accustomed to working in high pressure environments whilst maintaining high standards. Always displaying a "can do" attitude and strong work ethic.

An extremely talented leader who is dedicated to developing junior colleagues and delivering high quality results in fast paced, dynamic, time sensitive environments.

Dynamic and positive, possessing values such as integrity, honesty, discipline and reliability enable me to add real value to any given situation. Strong leadership coupled with compassion and humour enable me to quickly gain respect among colleagues. Notwithstanding a vast experience within engineering disciplines I am both capable and willing to diversify future roles by application of my robust management skills. Given the opportunity of an interview I am certain I can demonstrate these abilities and characteristics.

Ex Training and Development Analyst, finish in the Army as a WO1. My whole career was base around wheeled and armoured equipment some specialist from operator to instructor and finally to design.

Following a successful and varied career in the British Army Royal Engineers, and previously in the telecommunications industry, I am at my most motivated when working in highly pressurised roles where I can call on my significant experience and transferable skills in construction engineering, land quality assessment and geotechnical testing to deliver results. Utilising my extensive knowledge and expertise, combined with outstanding leadership skills developed over the course of a military career, I am adept at developing successful and motivated technical teams, consistently surpassing expectations. My key strengths include: performing well under considerable pressure, ensuring regulatory compliance and Best Practice delivery to all tasks; adapting to new and changing technology, keeping continually abreast of industry developments; and solving complex technical problems, understanding issues quickly and providing optimal technical solutions. Now reaching the end of my time in the Army, I am currently looking for a challenging new supervisory position to which I can apply my considerable range of transferable skills. I am willing to undertake further training as necessary, and am able to apply a professional development grant in order to achieve this.

In my previous post as an Armourer I achieved a number of successes, including: obtaining a Green Grading on all technical inspections carried out in my field of experience. The aspect I enjoyed most about my work was being Hands On and passing on my wealth of knowledge to both up and coming tradesmen and the customer.

Prior to leaving the Army, my last 5 appointments required close integration with MOD Main Building. This gave exposure/experience of working to and with a Central Government department. Key was gaining the understanding of how decisions at that level are made on resources, procurement and support. The final two posts also entailed a robust execution of planning at the strategic level for Defence Operations within the Permanent Joint HQ (Northwood) and engineering within the Royal Marines Command.
