Summary
I am a driven enthusiastic young professional that has had extensive experience in the agricultural sector. Running one of Australia's leading potato exporting operations, which ranges from negotiating contracts with International companies, high level staff management, to all aspects of farming and growing horticultural crops on a large scale.
I have had limited but very valuable experience in the construction industry, working in the project management sector on a high profile job in the Philippines. I was a client representative on this Casino development job working together with a large team of subcontractors from all sectors. This experience also gave great insight into successfully working with a diverse range of cultures / languages.
In my career in agriculture i have also specialised in delivering any major infrastructure upgrades, including a $1m processing and packing line, numerous shed and cold storage upgrades as well as company owned housing developments.
I am very excited to continue my career in the construction industry and believe i can be a great asset that brings a pragmatic, professional and determined approach to any challenge.
