Adam Swift

Queenstown,Otago

Summary

In the start of my career I worked landscaping which went well, as i had a willingness and resilience to working hard in all weathers and conditions. After six years I moved into working with young offenders and academic pursuits, but over the last 18 months I have been making the move back to physical work with the goal of pursuing a career in transport and logistics.

Having worked in a variety of fields, I have been able to develop and evidence excellent communication, problem solving, academic and labouring skills. I have a high level of fitness and I contribute a great deal in labouring environments.

I am currently based in Queenstown, but I am able and willing to move anywhere within both the North and South island of New Zealand to accommodate work requirements.
