About
During my years working in the shot blasting and painting industry onshore and offshore I have taken on increasing responsibility. In my last role at Merit Holdings which I held for over 5 years I was responsible for a small team organising workloads and timesheets and ensuring all work was carried out safely to a high standard and in line with job requirements. I'm confident stepping up when needed supporting the team and keeping work running safely and on track.
