Chris Britten

Looking to build a solid career in the industry, get different types of electrical experience, make the business money, learn from other blokes and have a laugh on the way. Have all the tools for the job. Can follow instructions, not afraid to ask questions or put my hand up and say I've done something wrong.

I get along with everybody. Not a slug, familiar with hard/dirty work, not afraid of roof cavities, digging trenches or cleaning up at the end of the day. Not an idiot either, currently enrolled at FedUni, passing all my electrical units without any issues.

Turn up on time, don't mind the early starts or the long days when needed, that's no worries. Happy to travel for work. Mainly wanting to transfer to gain more experience where I can while I finish my apprenticeship.

I come from a solar background, mainly roof work and battery installs. I have experience running cables and conduit, data, testing, and general electrical work. Moderate experience with domestic rough-ins and fit-offs.

Not as much switchboard experience as I would like to have yet. Still an apprentice though, and there's plenty I don't know yet. Happy to do a trial, give us a call or shoot me a text, and I'll organise this on my end.

A little bit about me – I'm 30 and a father, I spend most weekends doing family stuff, I don't drink or smoke and I probably have a Milwaukee tool addiction.
