Additional Information

I am reliable, punctual and well prepared. I always ensure that my tools, vehicles and equipment are maintained and serviced regularly to avoid breakdowns so as to minimise disruption to workflow. I believe in maintaining a clean and tidy work space at all times to avoid accidents or injury and follow WHS guidelines at all times.

I am approachable, friendly and work well in a team environment as well as independently. I am an effective communicator and pride myself on my ability to manage and prioritise jobs to ensure flow of work.

I have been married to my wife Sarah for 4 years and together we have three boys, Oliver 6, Thomas 3 and Beau 1. The most important role in my life is that of a husband and a father, being the best role model I can to my boys and providing a stable and secure life for them.

I have been working in the construction industry for over 15 years and feel that now is the time for me to make the progression in my career to that of a Construction Supervisor. I feel that the skills, knowledge and experience I have attained during that time would make me a perfect fit for this role. I am currently working as a sub-contractor with Domaine and Clarendon Homes in the Hunter District and and consider myself to be very familiar with your brand.
