Summary

I am currently studying a pre-trade Electrician course, and I think this role of an assistant would be the perfect complement to my studies. I may not have the experience in the field yet, but along with my studies, I can learn quickly and become a valuable asset to the team. Though my work experience may not be completely transferable, adaptability, communication, tough hours, eagerness to learn and understanding of worksite culture are vital aspects when looking for a candidate.


I am looking forward to meeting you and being apart of a team.
