  Hunter Communications

  Feb 2000 - Feb 2004

  Senior Engineer

  I started working for Hunters just as a cabling engineer, but was soon promoted to a senior engineer with my own van and running my own jobs. I worked on most of the contracts that Hunters had running one of which was a very big contract for a company called Johnson's pharmaceutical we did a BRAN REX cat6 installation at their High Wycombe site which Hunters received an award for as it was the biggest installation of cat 6 in the UK at that time. We had many other contracts but the main contract I worked on was Cheshire county council. I had to survey plan and organise work on different types of building from offices to schools collages and listed buildings. I had to keep customer up to date with how work was coming along on site and Make sure that deadlines were met. I also worked on the Chester Zoo contract for hunters again installing fibre data and voice networks across the zoo and making sure all work was to high standard. Show less

  Pinacl GDA

  Nov 2007 - Nov 2007

  Connectivity Management

  I joined Pinacl in November 2007 as connectivity management engineer at Barclays Bank Runcorn Data Centre. Here I was trained to work comfortable at level that Barclays expects of all Employees. The main role was to support the Data, voice, and fibre networks and infrastructure with in the Data Centre for Barclays Bank. We also had to monitor fix and update all incident and changes on service now to ensure that they were completed within the SLA. We also did break fix on devices which involved swapping out some parts on different devices such as Cisco,HP,DEL and other devices. We also had to control access for outside contractors who the Bank had outsourced work to , making sure they had a valid change and that all work was completed to the correct standard expected. I worked at Runcorn Data Centre for 3 years before unfortunately Barclays decided they was going to close Runcorn and migrate it into a bigger Data Centre in Slough. The opportunity came up for a position with Pinacl at another Barclays Site Radbroke Hall in Knutsford, which I applied for and was offered the job. The role here was very similar to the one I had at Runcorn, we still looked after the IT network but there was a lot more interaction with customers as the site has over 5000 Barclays Staff working on it. We also get involved in a lot of the project works on site like building refurbishment Network switch upgraded, Cisco voice IP phone system rollout. And we are currently involved with big wireless rollout across numerous sites. Show less
