Summary
My tenure at Mcindoe Group has honed my skills with trenching,backfilling,machine operation and pipe installation (plumbing and drainlaying). I have learned to problem solve with anything that happens on site and to communicate when needed. I learn very well with my hands and appreciate when showen the correct procedures. I am a keen young man who likes being in the outdoors when working. I have both my NCEA lv1-2 and also my ttm and confined space and working at heights (may need to renew confined space and working at heights) I have learnt to look after and maintain the machinery that I use. I am not afraid of getting dirty. Current have my restricted license but am working towards full license and that will allow me to endorse my wheels,track and rollers onto my license
