Summary

I have 6 years experience in the construction industry and the civil side of railway. In those years I have participated in a variety of jobs such as: labouring, roofing, drainage and concrete. I have also driven company cars, vans and machinery for example moxy, roller and excavator. I am currently on a working holiday visa (Subclass 417). I am an ambitious, driven individual who takes pride in being punctual. I always do my best to complete any task given to me to as high a standard as possible. I often work away and would be happy to relocate for the right salary. Outside of work I like to stay active and keep myself fit and healthy.
