Summary

I have a solid background in project management, a passion for client satisfaction and a proven track record in commercial painting. Some of the notable projects my teams achieved include:

Bunnings West Ipswich
Toll Berrinba
Ceva Transport
Vine Apartments West End (inside & out, controlled rendeering)
Luxenton Woolloongabba (9 story, inside & out, controlled rendering)
Akira Woolloongabba (9 story, controlled rendeering, inside & out)
Multiple School expansion repaints etc

Over the last 3 years I pursued entrepreneurial endeavours and successfully operated my own business in Trailer Hire & Manufacturing. Having recently sold the company, I am eager to refocus my energy and expertise back into painting and contributing to the growth of a company where I can potentially advance professionally while being part of a productive and results driven team.
