Summary
I am an energetic and willing candidate who works to complete tasks efficiently and in timely manner. I have almost eleven years of experience working in construction as a builder, with over four years experience in a site foreman role and have worked for myself for the past 8 months.
I have completed a number of projects from small renovations to residential builds and commercial maintenance. Having been inducted into Fonterra sites around Canterbury and Southland, I have completed jobs both inside and outside of these factories meeting many of the staff who work there, creating great relationships with those I have met.
I take pride in the health and safety of myself and everyone around me and am observant of the hazards and controls in and around the Clandeboye site.
When it comes to work I take my job seriously, I'm punctual with my timing, I go the extra mile and always work to the best of my ability while keeping a healthy attitude and mind set.
