James Russell
Tadley,
Summary
Telecoms Engineer with three years’ experience in outdoor builds and connections. I’m now looking to transition into the gardening and landscaping industry. I’m fully experienced in outdoor site work, from working at height on ladders and MEWPs to using CAT and Genny for safe ground-level builds. I’m used to a physically demanding job and am more than happy working in all weathers to get a project finished. I take pride in being adaptable to what a client needs and am now keen to apply my site experience to professional horticulture and high-standard garden maintenance.
