Summary
Trainee electrician currently completing electrical training in the UK with practical installation training scheduled for April 2026. Alongside training I have gained hands-on site experience working on construction and electrical projects including barn conversions, flat conversions and bespoke garden room builds.
I have assisted electricians with first fix wiring, cable routing and second fix installations including sockets and lighting. I will be relocating to Perth, Western Australia at the end of June and am extremely motivated to build a long-term career in the electrical trade and become a fully qualified electrician in Australia.
