Summary
For over 20 years I have worked in the roofing Industry. Starting out as a labourer, working my way through to Licenced Roof Plumber and business owner. There is very little I have not done, from large commercial projects, to high end residential, to small leak repairs in on all types of buildings and roofs. I have also gained a comprehensive understanding of safe work practices and requirements and am always seeking safer ways of carrying out tasks. Personally, I have always been motivated and hardworking, willing to do whatever is needed to get things done correctly, on time and on budget. I have also gained excellent communication skills and a good understanding of people in general which allows for frictionless management and smooth co-ordination with all types of people in all types of roles.
I also have a high ability to observe, analyse and act in the best interest of all concerned, whatever the situation.
