Summary

An attentive, highly motivated, reliable employee, who doesn't shy away from hard work. I seek out challenges and love learning new skills. Coming to the end of my second year of my bachelors in civil engineering, ive developed an extensive knowledge inside the industry with a solid foundation within structural design, soil mechanics, hydraulic principles, and Water and Wastewater systems. Throughout these two years of study I have had the opportunity to dive into how a construction site operates, as well as having insite in the building industry which has shown me the importance of having practical experience in order to increase my understanding as with a new day different challenges always arrive throughout the construction process.
