Summary

I’m a hard worker with 20+years of experience in all aspects of the residential painting trade. I’m a team-player who is eager to work with people of different backgrounds but am also capable of working independently. I’m Capable of producing high quality work as well as attendance and work ethic. However I felt it was time for change in career and have obtained my full Class 2,4 & wtr licence for the heavy vehicle/heavy machinery trade. I’m a fast learner with a can do attitude and willing to give anything a go and I have no hesitation in advancing my licence classes.

Efficient professional with strong planning and problem-solving abilities focused on meeting demanding schedules with optimal routes. Familiar with inspecting vehicles (prestarts daily) and completing basic maintenance. Good recordkeeping abilities with strong attention to detail and systematic approach to meeting all transportation needs.
