Rapidly approaching the end of a 22yr military career, as a Foreman of Signals in the Royal Corp of Signals, I am experienced in a vast array of soft skills essential to any management position, ranging from communication, teamwork, adaptability, problem-solving, creativity, time management and leadership. Practiced with tact and diplomacy in the management of stakeholders, contractors (internal and external), senior executives and operationally focussed customers I have all the key ingredients to be a success within your technical team. As technical lead in several diverse and challenging IT roles I have built up the knowledge to understand financial and time limitations, the importance of customer demands, the reasoning behind team member wellbeing and development, to deliver the global strategic goals of the organisation. Passionate with a natural tendency to strive for continuous improvement, be it to the overall working environment, team performance or business processes I constantly look to develop and provide wider establishment benefits. Already expanding myself professionally by undertaking an MSc in Computing, with a focus on Software Development and Engineering, I am also able to access resettlement funding (up to £4000) to gain training and qualifications in any areas your business may require.

As a service leaver, I bring a wealth of skills and experiences from my military background that are directly applicable to project management. While I may not have extensive civilian project management experience, my years of service have honed my ability to plan, implement, and complete projects under challenging conditions, strict timelines, and limited resources. I have successfully led teams, managed equipment and resources, and ensured compliance with safety regulations. With my military-inspired culture of teamwork, motivation, and trust, I am confident in my ability to adapt these skills to civilian projects. I am keen to contribute my expertise and make a positive impact in the project management field.
