Summary

I have recently returned to New Zealand after living & working abroad for the last 23 years.

During this time I enhanced my working knowledge & skills within local highway infrastructure whilst working on multiple contracts around London, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire & Hertfordshire County council contracts. My rolls varied from site investigation, staff supervision & HGV driving. During this time I acquired many new skills relating to highway infrastructure maintenance, safety hazard identification & effective client, staff & customer communications.

I have excellent time management skills & enjoy tackling new tasks that allows me to continue to develop both personally & professionally.
