Hi, I’m

OLIVER SMITH

PORTSMOUTH,Hampshire

Summary

I have studied at college for 2 years to gain the skills required to be a bricklayer. I am very keen in the whole building trade in general, I want to work and learn a whole variety of skills. I am intelligent and I have always been good with my hands. What I really need right now is an opportunity where I can gain experience and become a real asset to anyone who will give me a chance to shine either in bricklaying or in the building trade in general.

Most recently, I have been doing casual work. e.g. I have removed render from walls and repaired ready for scratching and re-rendering, and I have rebuilt a brick pier that had fallen over on a front of house wall. This is all whilst looking for a more permanent opportunity to arise.
