We’re starting our Meet the Treepro Team series with Darren, our Project Leader.
Darren is always the first one into the office in the morning, often before daylight. From early morning, he is taking calls, organising crews and keeping track of everything happening across the different jobs.
He knows the work inside out, has a memory like a computer and is the person everyone turns to when they need an answer. No matter how busy things get, he always makes time for the lads out on site.
He is also one of the funniest people in the office and never misses a chance to wind the rest of us up.😅
We asked Darren a few questions so you can get to know him a little better.
🔹 Q: WHAT DOES YOUR ROLE AS PROJECT LEADER AT TREEPRO INVOLVE?
As Project Leader, I oversee the planning and delivery of our ESB projects, managing the teams and making sure the work is carried out safely and efficiently to Treepro standards.
🔹 Q: WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?
I enjoy the variety and seeing a project through from start to finish. Getting a job completed well gives me great satisfaction.
🔹 Q: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING WITH TREEPRO?
I’ve been with Treepro for 28 years now. It has been a journey of constant learning and growth. The industry has changed so much since Francis and I started out, but safety has always remained the main priority in what can be a dangerous industry.
🔹 Q: WHAT MAKES A GOOD TEAM ON SITE?
Clear communication, looking out for each other’s safety, teamwork and a good work ethic. Everyone knowing their role makes for a great team on site..
🔹 Q: TELL US ONE THING YOUR COLLEAGUES MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU.
I really enjoy sport and following Cork GAA. It hasn’t been easy over the last few years, but like everything else, I’ll stick with it!
