Summary
With 18 years of experience in the construction industry, I possess valuable insights as both an employee and a self-employed worker. My expertise lies in logistical operations, particularly lifts and escalators. Physically fit for any task in this field, I am prepared to travel and work flexible hours, including day and night shifts. Maintaining a high standard of health and safety procedures is of utmost importance. Now, I am eager to advance my career as an Environmental Manager, either as a consultant or within a reputable company or firm.
