I have previously worked as a trackman maintaining and building the tracks for trains to run smoothly. In this role I had to work in a team most of the time and good teamwork was necessary as we had trains going past us at close range and at high speeds, also people’s lives were at risk. I enjoyed working as a trackman as it gave me opportunities to lead groups and work with new people all the time which meant you met lots of new friends. The work could be tough at times as we were under pressure to get the job done perfectly on time and efficiently which meant that good communication skills and teamwork was necessary. I have previously done shift work so I am a flexible person and can work flexible hours. Health and safety was key and I am aware of the main health and safety issues.

I am happy to use the skills I’ve learned in another job and also learn new skills as I continue my career. I would like to better my skills and learn new traits as they can help me in the future with finding work. I would be more than happy working behind a computer or doing more physical work as I am capable of doing both.
