Jordan Hugh Mc Daid
Port Melbourne,United Kingdom
Summary
Experienced labourer in concrete/screeding preparation and installation, as I have been an important part of my family's concreting business since a young age. During my teenage years and then alongside my degree and graduate role, I have worked as a concrete labourer.
I have recently moved to Melbourne from Ireland, and I am looking for a labouring role. I feel the skills I have developed through my previous experience are transferrable to many different types of labour roles, and I am eager to apply myself to the needs of the construction industry.
I'm a proud member of the CFMEU (member number 324940). I have my white card, tax number, working clothes, and driving licence.
