Summary
I am able to support the business by ensuring that those involved in its operation do so in a safe, healthy, environmentally responsible, and acceptable manner. After many years of preparation and hard work, this opportunity is something I was waiting for. I am a motivated, adaptable, and responsible graduate in BSc (Hons) Disaster Management (Risk) at Coventry University and recently completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Building Surveying (RICS Accredited) degree at Northumbria University. I have gained experience in operating across a wide range of sectors, such as surveying, transportation (Go-Ahead Group), logistics (British Army-UK), finance, recovery, and facilities management (Hatton National Bank Sri Lanka), general insurance practices and recovery (Ceylinco Group Sri Lanka), as a true professional. I am always willing to challenge the status quo and improve on existing standards. Right now, I would like to be part of a company that has an environment that supports and values diversity, integrity, trust, and openness.
