Summary

Over the past 9 years, I have honed my skills as a Carpenter and Joiner/Formworker at TAB Carpentry, Luke Griffiths Building , Laing O'rourke and Altrad where I have been involved in building and repairing cabinets, doors, frameworks, floors, and other wooden fixtures. My experience has equipped me with a profound understanding of woodworking machines, hand tools, and power tools, which are essential for executing high-quality work.

I am known for my excellent communication skills, self-motivation, and adept time management.

These strengths, combined with my technical skills, enable me to work efficiently and coordinate effectively with teams to meet project deadlines.

I have also pursued formal education in this field at Nash Community College, where I studied Carpentry & Joinery, further solidifying my foundation in this craft.
