Summary
A skilled and experienced builder with over 5 years of hands-on experience at PJ Broome Builders, recently completing a BCITO Building Apprenticeship in February 2024. Over the years, I have contributed to a wide range of construction projects, including reclads, villa renovations, retaining walls, concrete structures, and high-end, award-winning residential builds. Prior to my building career, I spent 11 years as a qualified welder, developing a deep understanding of construction materials, structural integrity, and project execution. I bring a diverse skill set, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship to every project. Looking to utilise my extensive practical experience and technical knowledge to contribute to future building projects and advance my career in the building industry.
