Tauranga,BOP
Summary
Kia Ora, I attested to the New Zealand Defence Force on 8 August 2013 and over the past decade I have gained life skills and experiences that I consider would be useful in any occupation.
I thrive in and like to create collaborative and supportive environments while also working equally well autonomously. Consistently delivering to the best of my abilities I am strongly committed to personal and professional advancement.
In August 2022 I left the NZ Army and I am now currently working in concrete construction where I have worked in both commercial and residential industries.
In June 2023 I was promoted by my company to construction Foreman. Where I lead a team of 6 pers specialising in concrete construction specifically in concrete laying and placing, insitu walls, footings, steel tying and formwork.
