Summary

I am a young driven worker and have worked on construction sites and in and around the building trade my whole life. From being younger, painting and decorating with a family business, to now where i have followed builds throughout their whole life cycle. I bring a strong work ethic, have a practical understanding of on-site operations, and since being introduced to the T-Level course in design, surveying and planning, I've delevoped a keen interest in building a long-term career in an aspect of construction management. With my college T-Level in design, surveying and planning, I have understanding in many different fields like designing builds on Archichad with accurate dimensions to comply with regulations, to then make reports and presentations about. Furthermore i have experience using many different types of tools such as a total station which I have been trained to use when something like a building needs measuring .

Work history

Labourer

Final Fix
Manchester, Cheshire

During my time at Final Fix i was involved with and supported a wide range of construction projects, including property maintenance, refurbishments, home extensions, and new builds.

  • While there, i would carry out general labouring duties such as demolition, site preparation, digging, loading/unloading materials, and basic repairs with the skilled tradespeople on site.
  • On site i would have to regularly communicate with colleagues ensuring smooth project progression and deadlines are met.
  • I would clean up sites after shifts, ensuring tools were correctly maintained for optimal usage during projects by securing them in designated storage units.
  • Working with multiple parts of the building trade has taught me all the different working parts on a building site and just how important one role is from another.

Salesman

Almost Flawless Furniture
Manchester

Working with almost flawless furniture I handled sales with many different people of all ages and backgrounds and would sell and deliver furniture to their houses.

  • While working there I was the head of building which included making sure all items were built on time and anything broken was either repaired or disposed of.
  • When the business first started I created their first Instagram page which unfortunately got hacked but I am still making social media posts on the new social media pages and help to promote online aswell.
  • I am trustworthy with handling money as when working here I would be continuously exchanging large sums of money with customers and making sure any money that was given to me was returned to the boss.
  • Throughout the day I will be negotiating with customers on the price the furniture to ensure we make a sale with a good amount of profit.
  • I trained a new member of staff on sales techniques, improving their performance significantly over time.
