For several years I have wanted to work in construction like my father.
He is a Plumber/ Pipefitter.
For birthdays/ Christmas I have been asking for tools and I have quite a collection ready for when I can start work.
For my work experience, when I was aged 15 I did a week on a building site with my dad where I did some pipe bending. soldering and fitting some radiator valves into radiators. I also did a day on a different site when my teachers were on strike, where I did a little bit of pipe crimping.
Last week my dad watched over me whilst I fitted an outside tap on our field using 25mm MDPE pipe.
I achieved a City & Guilds Distinction in Introduction to Health & Safety in Construction
I am strong and fit
I am willing to learn
I have a little knowledge of plumbing from working with my dad
And a little knowledge of other building trades from my year at college
When I was 16 I trained for strongman competitions, with my older brother.
I was given a trophy by the Worlds Strongest Woman when I attended Strength Fest 2024 for pulling a car and lifting atlas balls 2 weeks after my 16th birthday.
