Summary

I am a hardworking tradesperson who is skilled in roofing, factory roofing, construction labour, and landscape gardening. I am well-versed in keeping business operations cost-effective and customer satisfaction high. I maintain health and safety to a high standard and effectively use power tools and equipment to achieve successful projects. I have a history of working both independently and with teams to complete jobs.


I am looking for a role where I can use my customer service skills and my practical application of tasks. I am eager to learn new skills and willing to go the extra mile. I am open to roles from all industry sectors, not just those restricted to outside maintenance.
