Summary

I’m 24 years old and have extensive experience in underground services. My background includes working with power, telephone, fiber, gas mains, water mains, and fire mains, with a specialization in all aspects of drainage. I am also proficient in P.E and Polly welding. Have experience in leading roles, an opportunity that, while challenging, has significantly shaped my leadership skills. The responsibilities and pressures of managing a team at a young age have fostered resilience and a strong work ethic. I have 6 years of hands-on experience in drainage, operating a range of machinery including diggers, loaders, and forklifts. Throughout this time, I’ve developed strong skills in trenching, pipe laying, backfilling, and working safely around services. I’m confident operating in tight or complex environments and understand the importance of efficiency, accuracy, and safety on-site. My experience also includes routine equipment checks and minor maintenance to ensure machinery runs smoothly and safely.
