Summary
I have worked in the construction industry for over 25 years as a Bricklayer and then later a supervisor. This role has enabled me to be proficient in masonry where I have successfully completed all aspects of brickwork from foundations underground to prestigious gauged arches. I have worked alongside and supervised teams to work efficiently around building industry guidelines adhering to specific time frames and building regulations. I have used good communication skills and strategies to ensure that the teams I supervise work well together and all strive towards the same goal.
