Summary

I have been in the plumbing industry coming on 20 years now, over this time I have learnt and experienced all different aspecs and feilds of plumbing, learning from many different people and companies. Over this time I have built a reputation of being a dynamic and results-driven professional with extensive experience in our industry. My time with Baywater Plumbing aloud me the chance to grow even more as I was given the chance to run my own sites. With this I have shown the ability to read and interpret plans, optimize workflows, and enhance team development. Recognized for implementing safety management protocols and achieving project goals efficiently, ensuring high-quality standards across diverse job sites.

I have been with Axis small works for almost 2 yrs now, in this time I have completed several small jobs including office refurbs and fit outs and one large site which was 12months of night works, renovating 30 floors of Brisbane square bathrooms.

I am currently a leading had at Griffith university upgrade where I report to our forman, manage upto , tradesmen and apprentices.
