Seasoned HGV driver with extensive experience in lorry loader lifting operations seeking to transition into roles as a Crane Supervisor/Appointed Person/Slinger signaller. Recently completed CPCS A40, A61, A62 courses, aiming to leverage acquired skills and qualifications to excel in new responsibilities

With extensive experience as an HGV driver, I have operated a range of vehicles, including a 26-tonne rigid truck and HIAB lorry loader crane, delivering goods to complex sites like water treatment plants, reservoirs, and petrochemical plants. My roles at Selwood Pump Solutions, Independent Employment Services, and Cleveland Cable Company have honed my skills in multi-drop operations, trailer logistics, and adherence to stringent health and safety protocols.

Additionally, my military background as an Infantry Soldier with the British Army has instilled in me a strong sense of discipline, teamwork, and the ability to perform under pressure. I have a proven track record of managing challenging logistics tasks across the UK, ensuring compliance with road and driving laws, and providing emergency cover. My qualifications, including CPCS (A40, A61, A62), ALLMI certifications, and a Class 1 Driving Licence, further support my readiness to transition into crane supervision and lifting roles.

I hold several key certifications essential for crane supervision and lifting roles:

• CPCS (A61) Appointed Person
• CPCS (A62) Crane Supervisor
• CPCS (A40) Slinger Signaller
• ALLMI Lorry Loader (hook and remote, valid until 2026)
• ALLMI Slinger Signaller (valid until 2026)

Additionally, I have a solid academic foundation from Hall Garth School in Middlesbrough, where I earned GCSEs in:

• English (A-C)
• Math (A-C)
• Science (A-C)
• Geography (A-C)
• Physical Education (A-C)

I also completed a BTEC in Business Studies. These qualifications are complemented by my Class 1 Driving Licence, CPC Qualification (valid until 2027), Digital Tachograph (valid until 2027), and an FLT Licence (up to 5 tonnes), ensuring I am well-equipped for professional driving and lifting operations.
