A week in the life - Rory Doyle

Occupation:
Day Worker,
Turlough Hill and Liffey Stations

What is your typical week?
They say variety is the spice of life and thankfully, I’ve plenty of variety, with no two weeks being the same. My week varies greatly depending on what work is planned and who is present.

The scope of the job is very broad, an example of some of my duties within any week being: fork-lift and crane driving, collection/ delivery of items outside of the station; working as Relief store keeper, assisting Electrical and Mechanical maintenance, cleaning duties, etc. While I’m largely based in Turlough Hill, my job also sees me working in the other Liffey Hydro stations when necessary.

If you could change something in your week what would it be?
Like many, I wouldn’t be averse to having a few more hours in the day, there being so many things I’d like to do and they all take time.

How do you chill out?
Aside from time spent with my family, quality time for me is when I’m a part-time DJ and preparing music trivia quizzes for charity.

If you had the opportunity to pursue another career, what would you like to do?
Funny you should mention that. I’m currently seeking to do an adult E/I apprenticeship and am hoping to do this within the station.

What is your biggest personal ambition?
To win the Intermediate Category Trophy with Bray Rowing Club.
