Summary

I am a recently qualified carpenter with 5-6 years of experience in the construction industry. I have gained sound knowledge about the background of the trade. I have enjoyed utilising my hands on learning experience gained from the industry as it ties in with my strong work ethic and learning style. I have a sharp mindset with both a hands on and visual learning approach which attests to the huge desire to work with colleagues with high performance and high quality standards as my previous employer, LT McGuinness LTD. After working closely with experienced craftspeople, I have developed on-the-job expertise with the knowledge passed down from the company’s best and brightest. I believe I am a driven individual where my expertise continues to grow as new methods of construction continues to progress with new technologies and building standards.

  • I started and completed my Level 4 Carpentry apprenticeship with LT McGuinness and learnt how to set out, build, and install structures (walls, roofs, and decks) made of timber, concrete, and other various materials.
  • I have learnt how to accurately read plans/drawings and use various tools and machines correctly.
