DARREN BREW
Forster,NSW
Summary
I have excellent skills in managing time, setting priorities and planning. I have the ability to be innovative and flexible, leadership/mentoring skills, excellent written and verbal skills and the ability to work within and contribute to a team environment. I am also competent with all Microsoft Office applications. I am extremely passionate about my work and I take pride in all I do. I believe that all personnel should be treated with respect and this approach has helped me develop an excellent working relationship with the workforce that encourages employees to take ownership of safety and come to me with safety issues. I also believe there is a time to be firm and resolved to address safety concerns and breaches because it’s not only the safety of personnel at stake but also my reputation and the reputation of the company that I represent. I have the ability to deal with difficult contractors and Project personnel.
