Description
I am a highly dependable professional transitioning into the UK TV and film industry after a career with the Royal Marines. My background has given me discipline, adaptability, leadership, and logistical expertise that directly translate to production and location-based roles.
I am comfortable working in fast-paced, high-pressure environments and bring a calm, solutions-focused approach to ensure tasks run smoothly and safely. I am reliable, punctual, and proactive, with strong communication skills and the ability to adapt quickly.
I enjoy planning, conducting recces, coordinating logistics, and problem-solving. I thrive in varied environments, working alongside passionate teams, managing locations, supporting scouts, and undertaking runner duties. I am motivated by projects from start to finish, enjoy discovering new places, and take pride in contributing at every stage to successful productions.
Special Interests
Many of the aspects of military work I most enjoyed I feel translate directly into the Locations Department.
I am particularly motivated by projects that allow involvement from start to finish, from initial planning through execution and completion. Seeing an idea develop into a finished outcome gives me a strong sense of purpose and ownership, and I take pride in contributing consistently at every stage.
Organisation and planning are areas I genuinely enjoy. I am naturally methodical and detail-focused, and I find satisfaction in building clear plans, coordinating logistics, and ensuring everything is in place for operations to run smoothly. This includes scheduling, access planning, transport coordination, and preparing locations, with an emphasis on anticipating challenges before they arise.
I have a strong interest in conducting recces and assessing locations. I enjoy visiting potential sites, observing how they function in real terms, and identifying both creative potential and practical limitations. I take an analytical approach, considering access, parking, power, safety, public interaction, and logistical flow, and translating this into clear, useful information.
I value the variation and adaptability required in location-based roles, enjoy discovering new places, and thrive when working alongside motivated, professional teams. Logistics and problem-solving are particularly rewarding for me, and I take a calm, practical approach to finding dynamic solutions when plans change.
