Had my own company for about 3 years in the Netherlands now. This was done so I could do more work and didn’t get restricted to a certain amount of hours. Whenever there was a weekend off, I’d go in construction. This gave me some projects of my own, restoring and building from scratch. Also did bathrooms which included cement work, and tiling.

Began my landscaping career when I was 16 years old. I’ve stuck to the same companies for the past 8 years.

Work included: Paving, grinding stones for paving, building gazebos, planting plants,

drip systems, wooden structures, ceramic terraces, grass. Also know my way with a chainsaw for cutting down trees.

• Installed solar panels on multiple residential and commercial properties to meet customer requirements. Independent company would check our work on commercial projects afterwards. This is the reason we always had to check polarity, grounding and proper wiring according to the industrial guidelines.
• Ensured safety compliance by following industry guidelines during all installations and maintenance tasks.
• Evaluated potential risks and challenges related to solar panel installations, implementing appropriate solutions to minimize issues.
• Established strong relationships with property owners to boost referrals and customer satisfaction.
• Collaborated with team members to complete large-scale solar panel projects on time and within budget constraints. We had projects that went up to 800 solar panels. We had a crew of 6 people so had to work together properly.

Security work in the club area in my city. Mostly night work. Intervened before fights broke out, calmed people down by talking to them and getting them out of the area that caused the frustration.

This was my weekend job for about 3 years. Smallest of the group but never had any issues.

Biggest thing this job gave me was the ability to stay calm in certain circumstances, analyse situations and people and how to talk to different people with different cultures/personalities.

Did solar work in Bonaire (caribbean island). Worker with off grid installations there etc. For both Bonaire as the Netherlands I’m used to any kind of roof no matter if it’s flat or sloped.

Tiled roof, corrugated sheet roof, flat concreet roof, flat asphalt roof, steel/zinc roof.
