Derek Osborne

I am a hard working, reliable and trustworthy person. I am quick to pick up new skills and keen to undertake any further training. I have worked as an electrician for almost 20 years and have gained a vast amount of experience and knowledge.

I have experience in installing, maintaining, testing electrical systems and equipment in domestic, commercial and industrial environments. I am detail oriented, committed to safety, quality and customer satisfaction. I'm well mannered, polite and have good customer skills.

I work well as part of a team or on my own using my initiative and making quick decisions when needed. I bring a strong work ethic and desire to ensure all work is complete as quickly, tidy and efficiently as possible. I also consider myself to have excellent time keeping and attendance records.
