Summary

My hobbies outside of work include bodybuilding 5 days per week and maintaining a strong body and mind. I have been working in the construction industry for 13+ years as a chippy on various large commercial sites for builders including Probuild, Multiplex, Adco, Hickory, Hacer and Hutchinsons to name a few. Scope of works including formwork or fit outs of apartment buildings, hospitals and shopping complexes until my latest role, post pandemic as a construction HSR. I am a high-performing tradesman and team leader with substantial experience developing and implementing safety and health strategies. Helping to create safety protocols, conducting hazard assessments and relaying information to other workers.

I have a strong knowledge of OH&S regulations and committed to promoting industrial hygiene and site safety. I pride myself on being an organized and dependable asset to any company I work for, successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals whilst keeping myself and all other workers safe.

I am out to seek and maintain a full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills I have developed over the last decade in the commercial construction industry. Throughout my career I have forged excellent time management and problem-solving skills carried out in team environments with a positive and forward thinking attitude.
