WORK EXPERIENCE

UK Work Experience (Labour)

Alongside my engineering career development, I have undertaken a range of roles in the UK including: warehouse operative (GXO), factory production worker (BIMBO Swinton Bakery), hospitality crew member (McDonald’s), and Arabic interpreter. These roles have strengthened my work ethic, reliability, time management, health & safety awareness, and communication skills, while demonstrating adaptability, teamwork, and the ability to perform effectively in fast-paced, target-driven environments. This experience has added practical value to my professional skill set and supports my readiness for site-based and client-facing engineering roles.
