Summary
Previously having worked to award winning standards in both the hospitality and home finishing industries, I have successfully applied my determination and skills to traffic management. Working in traffic management for a large company I am now seeking to apply my knowledge to build a driven team in new ventures, hoping to further and expand on the skills i have obtained and further my career in all aspects of business extending my portfolio and skill sets.
I have taken line marking as my given profession and after a few years in the industry I believe with strong collaborative efforts, we can break the trends of the past and build a better working environment for the future
For some years I was working alongside and building a strong relationship within the umbrella of the Ausgrid Corporation. Working closely with project officers, helping planning with logistics, ROLs and Also the field managers in operatives for works an example are Emergency pole erections and removals as well as excavations and reactive works to ongoing breakdowns. I have been to go to Guy in every high profile situation from the storms last year and also dealing with the media.
I am 44 years old coming from an island in England where the main industries were building and infrastructure construction In the winter time, and tourist and hospitality industries during the summer so regularly I had to switch between the two in order to make a living growing up. I was raised as a farm boy with a good family and have a good strong work ethic with discipline focus and a good problem-solving skills set. I like to try and stay fit and healthy as I believe this contributes to achieving goals and keeping your mind straight.
