Queenstown

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 four years I moved into working with young offenders and academic pursuits, but over the last two years I have been making the move back to physical work with the goal of pursuing a career in civil construction.

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 willing to move anywhere in NZ to accommodate workplace requirements.
