Summary
I am a very hard, loyal worker who treats everything as a personal challenge and always strives for the perfect result. I have spent many years in construction, in particular, the lift industry and am a very capable worker. Having worked as a leading hand/ supervisor for the Adelaide oval job in particular , I have great leadership skills and organisation abilities. I always look to better myself and always use initiative when problem solving or just looking for a more efficient way of doing things.
I am also a motivated Project Manager with 2 years of experience controlling all stages of projects from inception through monitoring and closing, exceeding expectations of being on time and on budget. Considerable client-facing project experience has driven commitment to customer satisfaction.
