SGNNetwork Records Assistant
Mar. 2019 - Oct. 2019Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, United KingdomMy Primary role as a Network Records assistant was to run SGN's REP3 programme for Scotland. This involves organising the scottish depots to carry out risk surveys which I then process using the risk riser model and from this a risk score is calculated which is used to decide whether a riser (vertical gas pipe on high rise buildings) needs replaced or not in order to meet SGN and H&S Policies. While my primary role is Risk engineering this role has also allowed me to diversify into design as I have been able to help design and improve exsisting gas networks using synergee gas software. This role has been advantageous to my personal development as it has put me in a position of management. Managing the depots and listening and acting upon their queries has greatly improved my interpersonal skills as well as my communication skills. It has also helped me to further develop my organisational skills.

Thrifty Car & Van RentalReturns Agent
Jun. 2018 - Aug. 2018Edinburgh, United KingdomAt Thrifty I was employed as a returns agent. This role involved me to inspect cars for damage at the start of a rental to make the customer aware of any damages that the car had before they took the car away and also when the customer returned the car at the end of the rental in case the customer had damaged the car during the rental. This role was a very heavy customer service based role which required me to communicate effectively with the customers so they understood any charges that they would be required to pay in the event that they damaged the car. This role also required me to work independently and quickly to ensure that the customer was receiving the best service possible. This role helped to improve my communication skills as well as improving my accuracy when doing tasks.

HertzInstant Return Agent
Apr. 2016 - Sep. 2016Edinburgh, United KingdomAt hertz I was employed as an instant returns agent. This job involved inspecting vehicles for damage when customers returned them at the end of their rental. This role required me to be observant as any missed damage would mean that hertz would lose money repairing the damage. The role also required me to use my communication skills effectively to convey to customers any problems with the vehicle on returning it. At times my communication skills would be tested as a lot of our customers were from other countries and spoke Basic English so I would use my initiative to find another colleague who could translate for me or use a translating service to try and communicate information.
Royal Navy reservesOfficer Cadet
Jan. 2015 - Jun. 2018Edinburgh, United KingdomThe aim of the EURNU is to develop undergraduates who show potential to become the leaders of tomorrow, through maritime experiences and exposure to the values and ethos of the Royal Navy. Through the EURNU I have learned many skills one of which is leadership and team management, while away on deployment this summer each student had to complete a pilotage. This requires you to plan a safe route in and out of a harbour. This means you spend a few hours looking at charts and working out distances for the waypoints on your route. When you put this into practice it requires you to communicate with all the people who are in your watch that are working on chart on radar to make sure the ship is not in any danger. This has also developed my decision making skills as you are required to make choices over what you should do in certain situations, for example If you have another vessel coming straight towards you, you have to use your knowledge of the rules of the road to make a decision whether you should alter the ships course.

This experience gave me a chance to understand the importance of pre planning, that success would only occur where there was a highly functioning team and that this was dependent on your own personnel commitment the team.
