Service EngineerADT Fire & Security - Leicester November 2015 until July 2017After impressing in the operations side of the business I was asked to become an engineer again. Since starting my new role I have caught up with previous knowledge of intruder alarm systems such as Galaxy and Scantronic. In May '16 I had a performance review which resulted in myself being promoted to a higher-grade engineer. I can work with Galaxy, Scantronic, Visonic, I-on, Abacus, Aritech, Texecom, and C&K panels to name a few. I also started to become a more multi disciplined engineer by learning CCTV and access systems. Warehouse Operative ADT Fire & Security - Leicester November 2014 to November 2015I came to ADT as a warehouse operative due to my previous experiences with other retail companies. I used my vast knowledge of stock management and organisation to improve the current system and help others improve. While in the warehouse I learnt new skills as an administrator which included quoting tools, a new stock management system, buying products and invoice paying.
