Laurence TAIT

Loxwood,West

Summary

At 47 years old I am a motivated and creative experienced carpenter with comprehensive skills developed over years in the industry, for example power tool competence and fine standard of 2nd fix.

I have jumped through the hoops of team communication on site - I understand how to work effectively as a team member, and on my own from instructions. The problem solving skills I possess are considerable as it is constantly relied upon whilst working like I have on large or high scope building projects, as tasks in the building trade are unique to every project. I have experience in stock control, COSHH and scheduling/time management.
