Career Aim:
During my time at Carillion-Telent, I have completed three quarter
milestones, each having their own challenges and successes. During
2013/2014 quarter four, I worked extensive hours within the office and out
on site, to ensure the successful delivery of superfast fibre-optic
broadband within the set target. In doing so I was awarded the Carillion-
Telent Values Award for teamwork, innovation and confident delivery of the
project quarter.
At my previous Employer Fujitsu, I developed a keen interest in the
progression and continual improvement in the ways in which IT production
and programming can benefit from intelligent and considered project
planning methodologies. I worked closely with a team of twenty-five
engineers, planners and project team members, with specific focus on
maintaining a high level of service to the projects we dealt with, and an
enthusiasm towards improving already existing methods and employing any
new techniques that may be of benefit to the company, both locally within
different areas on site, or the company as a whole.
I was tasked with implementing a structure to the warranty filter
department at Fujitsu, and in the process, clearing an excessive backlog
of over two million. After the backlog was completed I then went on to
restructuring the whole department and create new ways of working to
integrate improved processes to create a 'business as usual' routine.
Prior to this, I completed a five million pound project for Tesco's
superstore in the configuration department, assembling and programming
EPOS systems for the Tesco's express rollout. For the successful
completion of this project, I was awarded the Fujitsu gold award and was
trusted to oversee a number of ongoing projects.
I was heavily involved in the introduction of Prince2 methods throughout
the whole of the configuration department. Throughout the design
procedure, I was involved in all consultations regarding the proposed
behaviour and general set up of the program, which led to a significant
participation in the creation, development and installation of the new
structure of work.
