I used to have telehandler licence which has lapsed. My experience ranges from fast road applications such as Fastrac driving to operating subsoilers on Quadtracs. I also have experience using Catros style tillage equipment. I have worked on a 6500 acre farm outside of Cambridge and was able to use their entire range of tractors.
In the last four years I have done some digestate tanking before moving to our green waste recycling facility which I now manage.
Back in 2000-1 i was involved in the daily milking of 1100 Holstein cattle in New Zealand. I was also involved in the management of male stock across the farm. Within the sheep side of the business I was involved in the movement of stock around pastures, daily checking for fallen stock and for new lambs. I assisted in the shearing of the flock. The flock was approximately 8000.
My very recent experience is not as in depth as I would like as I have been focused on green waste recycling.

I have responsibilities that include directing staff, ensuring drop offs and collections are successful as well as monitoring health and safety across the site. In addition I also operate a variety of valuable machinery including loading shovels , telehandlers and tracked screeners up to 30t. This aspect my job can include the following: • Loading HGV walking floors with compostable materials. •Loading and unloading screening and shredding machines.

I have just passed my CITB Health and Safety assessment. I have successfully passed yearly assessment through the ITSSTAR scheme for the machines I operate.
