The Continued Development of the Delta Rock Team
Adam, a valuable member to the team at Delta Rock has continued to develop his skills to progress within the business, which was recently recognised through his promoted from Project Supervisor to Project Engineer.
Growing Skills and Expertise
In his role as Project Supervisor, Adam was the critical link between the office and on-site projects. Updating the team internally with project status and material management, Adam ensured the smooth running of projects and the day-to-day management of our site teams, across a wide range of projects.
Through this role, Adam significantly increased his skills and knowledge of managing on-site project requirements and team management, which has led him to have the correct criteria to become more involved with the initial project set-up and complete project management.
In his latest role as Project Engineer, in recognition of his commitment to expanding his skillset and knowledge, and the expertise he now has, his responsibilities have grown to incorporate initial project set-up, contract costings, direct liaising with customers, to project manage complete on-site contracts.
Adam’s Journey with Delta Rock
Adam is one of Delta Rock’s many long-standing team members. It’s been a long and interesting road for Adam, but he has grown and progressed alongside the continued success and growth of Delta Rock.
Adam’s journey began working as an electrician for a small electrical contractor company in Bromborough alongside his father. The business focused on serving the domestic market, undertaking electrical work in homes and small establishments.
Having served a 4-year electrical apprenticeship and gaining his JIB qualification with Birkenhead Technical College, he joined the family of Delta Rock in 2003, as an approved electrician. This was the first time Adam was exposed to industrial electrical engineering.
Working in industrial electrical engineering confirmed to Adam that this was the path he wanted to pursue.
During the initial 15 years working at Delta Rock Adam was able to continue to progress as an electrician. As specialist in industrial electrical engineering and automation, Delta provided the opportunity to work in different manufacturing environments. This included a range of industries, from food and beverage to waste management.
Every project provided the opportunity to grow his knowledge, skills and expertise, enabling him to manage projects and rise to supervisor status.
The opportunity that was a turning point for Adam
Propelling Adam’s career forward
Adam explains “Under the previous ownership of Delta Rock, I was told I’d always be just a middleman, never excelling beyond, but a good ‘all-rounder’. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I was off work for a while. On returning, I found myself based on-site at Airbus where I was asked to fulfil a supervisor’s role. It was this role that the penny finally dropped. I realised I was confident and capable enough to handle this type of position and responsibility.”
Delta Rock Group, was acquired by The Ethikos Group 2017
Adam continues, “Supervising the Airbus project, coincided with a change in the ownership of Delta Rock and The Ethikos Group acquiring the business. This was an exciting time, as I, along with many of my colleagues could see this was a change for the better. I was excited to be part of the company’s new chapter. With new opportunities for positions based within the office opening, several of us applied.
Disappointingly, I was unsuccessful. However, the new Managing Director, Scott Davis (and co-owner of The Ethikos Group) thankfully noticed my frustration and eagerness to progress. He discussed another opportunity with me. There was a need for someone who would be office based but also needed to travel to the various project sites. This role would be the integral link between the status of projects on-site and reporting back to the Senior Management team.
This was the opportunity and the break I’d been looking for. It would enable me to progress my career and tailor it in a new direction. This proved to be a pivotal role to start my journey in project management, taking me from Project Supervisor to my new role as Project Engineer. Obviously, my new role comes with added responsibilities, but through the experience I’d already gained and the continued support from the management team, it has been a natural progression for me. This along with mentoring Delta Rock’s apprentices makes for busy days and every day is different, but that’s what is so enjoyable, and challenging too.”
The Ethikos Group – Advocates team development
The Ethikos Group works hard to have its values and ethos running through all its’ businesses. It advocates developing people from within the business and allowing them the opportunity to progress in their career, whether that means further qualifications or progressing to another part of the business or following a role in management.
Continuous Development
Adam is also a key member of the company’s VIP (Visionary – Industrious – Presentable) team. The VIP forum provides a platform where issues, new developments and suggestions can be put forward by anybody at Delta Rock. The VIP team will then discuss, evaluate, and progress ideas, accordingly.
In addition to these roles, following his contribution to the VIP forum and how he has progressed within the business, Adam was seen as an ideal mentor and supervisor of our young new talent starting at Delta Rock. Adam is now Delta’s Apprentice Team Leader.
This role sees Adam liaise with colleges, to bring on new potential electrical engineers and supporting the apprentices, whilst updating on their progression when working on site.
Adam has been pivotal in the mentoring of Delta Rock’s apprentices.
A skilled and Experienced Individual
Along the way, Adam has acquired an impressive collection of qualifications reinforcing his skill and capability in the electrical engineering industry, and ability to keep learning, which include C&G Level 3 – Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations and CMI Level 4 – Management and Leadership.
Adam’s career progression is testament to his hard work and determination. His vast array of experience as an electrician, from working on-site to project liaise and mentor to Delta Rock’s many apprentices, makes him a highly regarded and valued member of the team at Delta Rock.
