EMPLOYMENT HISTORY.

Art Building Contractors

March 2001 - 2010

My duties involved making sure building materials were picked up and

delivered on time to various building sites in the Gravesham area. I was

always involved in different projects which were contracted and always had

satisfied customers. Work also involved trades from plumbing to electrics

to bricklaying and plastering.

Chilton House Garage

June 2011 - January 2012.

My responsibilities were sell top prestige cars to members of the public,

potential buyers and Dealerships across the UK. Cars sold ranged from Ford

St to C-Max and BMW to Mercedes CLK. Also taking care of company leads and

maintaining the financial cost for the property.

Laing O'Rourke Infrastructure

February 2012 - July 2013. London Gateway Port. (LGP)

Roles and Responsibilities of Engineer Assistant

Safety, Health, Environment & Sustainability

Following safe working practices including wearing personal protective

equipment and demonstrating a duty of care to myself and others. Understand

the necessity to comply with approved methods of working. Immediate

reporting of technical problems and unsafe situations, being aware of

company procedures and statutory regulations relating to the Environment.

Dimensional/Spatial Control

Provides dimensional control for drainage and service runs and

chambers, while doing As-built surveys for drainage and services presents

results in format that can be included in project records if required.

Workmanship, Quality, Inspection and Testing

Raise Non Conformance Report (NCR) for all non conformances and

reports potential non-conformances

Information, Change Control and Records

Assist site engineers with filing of drawings and other construction

information whilst completing relevant site records as required by senior

members of staff (e.g. diary sheets) and submit on a weekly basis to

supervising engineers / managers.

Permanent Works Materials, Products, Plant & Systems

Assist site engineers with materials quantification and testing

Construction Methods, Practices and Innovation

Read and understand method statements and makes sure that site

operations follow these methods accurately reporting any variances to

supervisors and his supervising engineer, producing sketches and drawings

to clarify methods and construction sequences.

Temporary Works/Systems & Cranes

Have an understanding of site Temporary Works procedures.

Engineering Knowledge - Capture, Sharing & Using

Effective communication of basic technical information in a timely &

accurate manner and interrogate design information and determine if there

are sufficient details to construct the works. Raise concerns with

supervising engineers

Have an understanding of the various procedures relating to the

distribution, clarification and confirmation of design information.

Preparation of basic calculations/drawings/sketches.

Also carried out soil testing (DCP)

Use of Digital Auto Level, Piezometer to measure pore water pressure (water

pressure in voids underground).

Auto level, GPS and total stations for setting out of lines and levels

The geotechnical settlement monitoring team is responsible for gathering

data to prove that sufficient settlement has been induced, by surcharge, to

minimise future settlement to magnitudes that comply with the Employer's

Requirements.

Working in the geotechnical settlement monitoring team I monitored ground

settlement as surcharge was added and removed from zones of site with a

digital auto level. This would involve long traverses over different zones

of site, ranging from a few 100m up to 1km; collecting levels from points

known as A types and B types and reading drawings to distinguish between

different monitoring points. Measuring A types shows how much the top of

the surcharge has settled over time, while measuring B types shows how much

a lower level of strata settles.

I would also take readings from a peizometer, which shows a reading of the

pore water pressure. When surcharge is added, the pore water pressure

increases after which the water will start to dissipate (consolidation).

The data will then be input into the data system, which creates graphs.

These graphs need to be checked for anomalies and monitored to confirm that

the required settlement and consolidation is being achieved

The earthworks team is tasked with removing surcharge when an area has been

released.

In this area of works I would assist an Engineer in the setting out of

profiles so our trade contactors can remove the surcharge to the correct

level. While doing this I learned how to use different setting out

techniques with GPS, such as reference line to set out profiles on

different offsets and distances and using a DTM model to set the heights

within tolerances. I furthered my experience with the auto level, using the

instrument to check levels were correct. I would also survey stockpiles on

site with GPS to get volume calculations.

M@H CONSTRUCTION

October 2014 - May 2015. Olympic Stadium Transformation Works. (Olympic

Park)

My roles and responsibilities as an assistant were to perform setting out

tasks such as marking points extracted from CAD drawings for the

construction of the Concessionary units (Pods). Along with this, I gave the

appropriate levels which were taken from an established Control Point (TBM)

which were then transferred across the site using the appropriate method.

After establishing the points and desired levels, Centre Lines were marked

(horizontally and vertically) for Sub Contractors across the Pods using

advanced and precision engineering equipment such as a Total Station (TS).

Centre Lines were also provided for the construction of the roof once the

steal framework was erected.

Overview of Equipment and Techniques

The equipment used in performing and completion of the works varied from

the TS to Dumpy and Lasar Levels. The majority of the work was completed

using the TS and its numerous methods. By implementing Survey and Stakeout

techniques such as Reference and Quick line Functions and creating Asbuilt

Surveys as required. I also used this system to execute Lines and Levels on

the Field Of Play for tarmacing and concreting also Levelling the playing

field with a Lasar Level.

I also provided several Sub Contractors with various height Datum's for

individual tasks required for specific stages of construction related to

the Pods by adopting these methods.

Supervision.

I was assigned as a Supervisor for a brief period of time liaising with the

Section Manager of the "Halo" works. As well as continuing to perform my

duties, I was given this role which the responsibilities included.

Daily Activity Briefing for operatives on there activities for the

day. (DAB)

Putting operatives to work.

. Appropriate permits for the work carried out.

. Supply all PPE.

. Completion of Weekly Timesheets.

Interests

In my leisure time I am very active as I play for my local football team

and keep fit, I like to go out and socialise with friends. I teach younger

children the Indian folk dance (Bhangra) at the local studio of performing

arts, so interacting with new people won't be a problem as my skills are

very strong in this area. Highlight of my life is performing in front of

her Royal Majesty the Queen of England. I like listening to music and

attend various concerts of different cultures and play various musical

instruments.
