Ross Duncan
Ames Taper
Dunfermline
Summary
I am a confident, self-motivated and hard working individual with a broad range of experience over differing roles throughout my working history. I have recently completed both hand and mechanical taping courses via the British Gypsum Academy, passing at a very high standard. With my CIS certification and CSCS card in place, full set of hand and mechanical taping tools and own transport, I am now looking to secure my first role as an ames taper to progress on my skills and knowledge within the industry. I have strong time management and communication skills and work well as an individual as well as a valuable member of a team. I believe I have the necessary attributes to be considered a first rate candidate for any ames taping position.
