Summary

I have experience in most areas of the construction industry , Residential, Commercial, Multi Storey, Insurance work , from installing a door handle to overseeing large projects,

I enjoy the pressure that can come with the job . I like the fact that people come to me and can rely on me to sort out difficult problems and i will always seek advice if i require it. I get along with most people in the industry whilst admitting that some people can be difficult to deal with I am not afraid to show authority when needed.

It is my belief when working for an employer, when they go well , I go well , I am loyal and dedicated to whom ever i work for and believe i am a good asset to have.
