Summary
Self-motivated and highly practical individual with strong hands-on engineering ability developed both inside and outside the work place. I have independently learned and carried out complex mechanical repairs, including replacing a timing chain, head gasket, and multiple suspension components (struts, springs, wheel bearings, top mounts). Alongside this, I have successfully rewired and entire property and I am completing a full renovation, handling tasks such as floor levelling, plastering, bricklaying and general structural work. I excel at learning new technical skills quickly, solving problems through logical thinking, and taking initiative to complete work to a high standard.
