Summary
Motivated Plumbing Apprentice, that is knowledgeable about the plumbing fields listed throughout my Resume. I am hardworking and am always keen to give something new a try. As a 1st and 2nd year apprentice I would always come to work prepared and with a hard work ethic, ready to be of service to my tradesmen and absorb as much as possible while working. As I enter my last years of my apprenticeship, I would be eager to take on more responsibilities and continue to learn new skills in a commercial environment.
