Summary

I am currently working as a team member with Sheppard Section Services. As part of the role, I do general laboring including; lawn mowing, fence and retaining wall construction, gardening, tree work and property maintenance. I work with a range of tools and machinery: chain saw, weed eaters and general property maintenance equipment. Previous job at North City Shingle Supplies also included operating and maintaining a front-end loader as part of the yard tasks. Past experience has included being a yard manager for a small family firm based in Porirua, North City Shingle Supplies. I was in sole charge on the weekends. I am a motivated individual. I have a proven track record of building solid relationships across the building sector, and I strive to achieve the best possible results overall whilst exceeding the customers’ expectations. I have worked with a diverse range of individuals and pride myself on my ability to work under pressure. I frequently work autonomously but enjoy being part of a wider team.
