Summary

Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read about my experiences and skills I have created over the last 8 years in the Scaffolding industry.


I am 27 years young and have been scaffolding since 2015, on various sites across the east coast of Australia, which include working shift work, on roster, on live plants, shutdowns, maintenance, commercial and residential sites.


Best traits about myself are my hands on approach to tasks given, my resilience through the hard times of scaffolding, and being able to get along with anyone within the work groups.
