Coogee,NSW

Summary

I consider myself to be a fit and able person who is always prepared to learn and be flexible. I am also willing to work alone or as part of a team. This can be reflected in the many roles that I have undertaken throughout the past 25 years of my working life many of which have been on a self employed or sub-contractual basis. I am extremely punctual, reliable and have a pleasant manner towards the general public and fellow employees. I enjoy all kinds of sport now as a spectator only although when I was younger I played football and rugby union on a regular basis. I also hold a full driving licence.


I am an extremely knowledgeable electrician with a solid background in electrical systems and installations. Proven ability to troubleshoot and repair complex electrical issues, ensuring safety and efficiency. Demonstrated effective problem-solving and critical thinking skills in high-pressure environments.
