Summary

I completed my plumbing apprenticeship in 2020, by this time I was in charge of my own jobs with my own builders I dealt directly with. Completing projects on time to a very high standard.

I then travelled Australia for a while before settling down in Atherton working on a berry farm for something new. Working my way up to supervising quite quickly.

I then travelled back home where I began work for a new company OKG. Taking on a new role as a plumbing foreman working on a commercial project in Hobart.

This job role had me working away quite a lot which I enjoyed.

I’m now looking for a new job wherever my skills fit.
