Summary
I am currently working as a building surveyor in a small firm in Norfolk. Due to the small size, yet busy workload the company has, I have been able to develop skills I maybe would not have had to elsewhere. Managing projects is something I have become efficient in, completing large scale survey projects to tight deadlines, producing a high quality service. My driven nature has allowed me to help expand the company, becoming effective in training other workers, whilst ensuring client relations are upheld through conscious liaising. My keen eye for detail and solid understanding of engineering and surveying principles has enabled me to develop skills to provide a highly competent, and comprehensive service to a wide variety of clients.
