Summary

I am a loyal, hardworking and conscientious individual with excellent communication and organisational skills which have enabled me to excel in my chosen roles thus far in my career. I am proactive and like to use my own initiative, but am equally happy working as part of a team. Confident in my own ability, I am an adept problem solver and thrive in pressurised situations. I have an aptitude for meeting tight deadlines while maintaining the highest standards of work. I am now actively looking for a new position within the construction industry, either freelance or permanent, where I will be able to utilise and build upon the experience and knowledge gained as a Engineer in my career to date.
