Summary
I am a fully qualified, dedicated, hardworking electrician with 10 years of experience working both Ireland and Australia. I have years of experience working in live data centers working around live services such as HVAC, BMS, security systems and data racks. I'm hardworking and reliable and will work great as a team or independently if required to do so. I'm a quick learner and will pick new procedures quickly. I Have worked on multiple commercial, industrial and domestic jobs across Sydney. I’m currently sponsored in Sydney but my company currently has no projects coming up in the near future therefore its very quiet. I’m currently seeking new employment as I like to be kept busy. I’ve always wanted to get into lift installations as its something that I haven’t done before and I would love to get experience on the installation of lift systems. I’m keen to get the working at heights ticket as early as possible if I was given the opportunity for a start.
