Summary

I’m 20 years old, hold an open driver’s licence, and have my own work ute. I own a few tools such as a drop saw, framing and finishing nail guns, and a basic set of power tools. I'm Motivated and a reliable 2nd-year Carpentry Apprentice progressing into my 3rd year of training, with hands-on experience gained by working closely with an independent tradesman. My apprenticeship has been part-time—typically 3 days a week, occasionally 4/5—which has limited the time I've had on-site and is part of why I'm still building a deeper understanding of the trade and the working out behind the jobs. Despite that, I’ve developed practical skills through a range of general carpentry tasks and bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and the ability to work independently or follow direction. Committed to learning from experienced tradespeople, improving craftsmanship, and contributing to high-quality builds.
