Summary

I am a registered builder with 20 years of experience in low-rise renovations, operating a successful small business in Townsville. Expertise in managing personnel and implementing safety systems to ensure a productive and secure work environment. Proven track record of delivering high-quality results, and maintaining exceptional customer satisfaction. A strong work ethic and self-motivation, fostered through years of self-employment, make a valuable asset to any team.

Over the years, I have diligently established and maintained safety procedures for employees and contractors, promoting a secure work environment across all projects.

"During my time as a builder, I have carried out many jobs for commercial clients were the works had to be completed at varies times throughout the day on a shift work basis to minimize disruptions to the clients' run of trade."
