Summary

I am a highly motivated third year plumbing apprentice looking to further my skillset in the maintenance side of the trade. I offer excellent listening skills and a desire to improve at every opportunity given. I have experience both working in a team environment as well as for the past year and a half completing jobs by myself and operating my own work vehicle. I have experience in all types of plumbing, specialising however in new build houses. I believe i can be an asset to your company and hope to hear from you soon.
