Cenk Polat

Self-employed business owner with a background in hospitality management and Turkish military service, and a career built on precision, procedure and personal accountability. I work to exacting standards where small errors are costly, stay focused through long, detail-heavy tasks, and take responsibility for safety, quality and the customer's trust. Reliable, punctual and calm under pressure, I am motivated to begin a long-term career as a train driver and to work within the strict safety culture the role demands.
