Summary
To be successful in all aspects of my life has always been my goal. I’ve developed a career in the construction industry over the past 7 years. I am a qualified builder with proven leadership experience, currently working as a Site Manager for a tier 2 commercial construction company.
I have developed into a highly capable Site Manager with talents in direct project planning and management. Strong understanding of inspection compliance and building codes. I am very detail orientated & enjoy completing all work to the highest level. I have attained a broad range of experience & appreciate the skills I’ve learned and the opportunities I’ve been given, yet I am ready to challenge myself and advance my career further.
