Summary

A hardworking reliable team member with a positive attitude, I am used to working long shifts under physically challenging conditions and always willing to help my team safely complete tasks. With extensive experience in scaffolding across both UK and Australian sites, I demonstrate strong technical expertise and unwavering commitment to safety standards. I have proven experience working in FIFO roles and maintaining high performance across extended shifts. I am committed to the successful and safe completion of all projects working on various sites and in various roles has given me a solid understanding of the WHSE policies and procedures that are in place to ensure the safety of all workers. With demonstrated experience in industrial scaffolding, I maintain excellent interpersonal skills and build efficient and productive working relationships with teams, contractors, management and key stakeholders.
