Clarets Civil Engineering – Ganger

I moved over to Public Sewer Services due to an Anglian Water contract change. Claret Civil Engineering no longer held a contract with Anglian Water and many of my colleagues were moved over to Public Sewer Services as they then held the new contract.

For the main part of my career, I have always worked by managing people. When I was a ganger, it began with me leading one person. Before I moved on and became a Supervisor within the company. During this role I overlooked a number of gangs, attended sites to ensure jobs were progressing, as they should whilst also carrying out safety checks.

When I was promoted to Operations Manager, I took more of an office-based role. Within this role, I oversee and look after a selection of gangs, lorry drivers and apprentices. Followed by my other main duties as above.
