How long have you been with GMG and where are you located?

I started in 1998 with an agency but was taken on in 2000. I’m based down at our Portland Depot.

What does your job entail?

Being Senior Cable Technician means I have the main responsibility of ensuring all cable transfers, whether internally or externally are completed safely and within KPI’s. I also have to organise and supervise up to 10-15 staff per shift if needed.

What is the best thing about working at GMG?

I can honestly say it’s the camaraderie between each department, being either shore or fleet based, makes it very easy to come to work.

What are the most challenging and rewarding aspects of your job?

I would say the most challenging is not knowing how each job is going to turn out, as no two cable ops are ever the same and the reward is getting it done.
