Summary

Having spent over 4 years as an estimator and coordinator I have gained invaluable management and estimating experience, this experience has equipped me with the tools to step into a role and provide immediate output for my employing company. I have had extensive experience liaising with clients, preparing project estimates, cost forecasts, as well as submitting variations and progress claims. I am open to all new experiences and would approach each new task with an open-mind, keen to absorb any information. Above all I believe that I am a friendly, hardworking person, who would have no difficulty being placed into any team.
