Profile Activity
Basically I am a career Telecommunications person. I have tried other things in the last few years namely , running my own business in the sun but find this is what I am best at and have returned and hope to resume my career in Telecommunications.
Telecommunications , has brought me from Ireland, to England, the USA on 2 occasions and back to Ireland. I have worked in most aspects of the Telecoms field , starting as a cable puller at the age of 18 for an English company in Galway as a contractor to the old P&T. Became a test engineer with TCL before they ceased working in Ireland and moved to the US in 85 working with Murrays on inter city fiber routes when fiber was in its infancy. From there back to TCL , this time in London. Decided in 91 to move to California. Worked for several 2 companies there in 8 years and then back to Ireland. So as I said basically, communications is what I do best and hopefully every aspect of this.
Tom A's Professional Experience
Crescent Communications Ltd - CV
As head of the Estimations Department, my job involved all facets of estimations and design for cabling projects - phone, computer and fibre optic (contracts up to �1.5 million). This included site visits, liaising with consultants and electrical contractors, design assistance and final costings.
As this was a small company, my job also entailed a sales and project management aspect, and I was the primary contact for several key customers, including Trinity College Facilities and IS Departments, Eircom, Clarion Hotels and several consultancy firms. These were contacts that I brought to Crescent Communications and developed to the degree that they now comprise a large part of Crescent's core business. On many occasions as a smaller company my involvement was also hands on. These tasks would involve cable installations, termination , testing and handover.
