• Since moving to Australia and working at Davco, I’ve had the joys of working with new crews from all over the world which has been a good test on my communication skills and also my scaffolding skills seeing the different ways people like to erect and dismantle scaffolds. I’ve also worked with new systems of scaffold such as kwik stage and atpac/ringlock.
• Collaborated with team members to ensure timely completion of scaffold setups and takedowns. I’ve had the joy of running some of my own crews and even my own small jobs in the past.
• Performed routine maintenance checks on scaffolding equipment to ensure optimal functionality.
• Trained new staff on scaffold assembly procedures and safety protocols to enhance team performance.
• Operated forklifts and other machinery to transport scaffolding materials efficiently across job sites.
• Assured compliance with local regulations and industry standards during scaffold installations.
• Supported site supervisors in coordinating daily tasks to enhance workflow efficiency.
• Followed safe working practices at all times while erecting and dismantling scaffolds.
• Conducted regular inspections to check stability of erected structures.
• Loaded and unloaded scaffold components from vehicles safely.
• Assembled, erected and dismantled scaffolding for construction projects.
• Unloaded equipment and materials and moved supplies around on job sites in various weather conditions.
• Analyzed base surfaces to identify potential obstructions or safety hazards.
• Utilised a range of hand tools and power tools during assembly.
• Managed all materials required for the erection of scaffolding.
• Trained junior staff members in the safe operation of equipment used in scaffolding works.
• Safely and accurately built scaffolding in confined spaces like cooling towers.

I was an all round scaffolder. Weather we was doing commercial or residential work we was at the yard from the crack of dawn loading our trucks for the day ahead. I would then proceed to my first job with my crew and we would be erecting all kinds of scaffolds up and down the country week in week out. We worked a lot with tube and fitting, some cuplock and also Hakki for staircases and some loading bays. Living in the UK we also dealt with a lot of temporary roofs with this adverse weathers. I’ve worked on all types of jobs building various structures with all kinds of systems of scaffold I.e. temporary roofs, ladder beams, gantry, house wraps, sites, recycling centres e.c.t. I also have experience driving machinery such as scissor lifts cherry pickers forklifts.

I had the responsibility of driving the trucks (18tonne) and it was my duty to ensure the jobs where built to standards and everyone went home safe. Being a lorry driver means you’re representing the company, they have company stickers all over so your every move is representing the company. This gives you incentive to have some pride in your work and your every move.
