I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated, punctual polite and friendly individual. I thrive when working within a team but also have demonstrated throughout my employment history the ability to work independently. I have a strong work ethic and vast amount of experience and knowledge from working in the construction and manual labor industry for over 13 years.
My excellent communication skills, flexibility, adaptability, and timekeeping as well as organisation skills have aided me greatly in all previous and current roles. I have been and continue to be more than willing to undertake any training and courses to further my career prospects and would consider myself a fast learner.
My work at Prescott Groundwork started in 2020 I am a CIS [Construction Industry Scheme] self-employed groundworker and have been able to develop several key skills during my time spent with this company.
The role despite being within the construction industry is a front facing role in which I often interact with customers who have purchased properties that we are currently or have already completed work upon. By doing so I am expected to resolve any quires they may have or make any rectifications to work they are dissatisfied with. At times the work may have been completed by other agencies, therefore, I liaise between the client and such agencies in order to resolve this if necessary.
My role consists of all aspects of groundwork as well as heavy lifting, drainage and customer satisfaction.
In addition to this I work with an everchanging team of other individuals on allocated construction sites and ensure that I document all work completed by myself and others in order to update the owner of this company. This ensures that the team are aware of what is expected of them, and our employer is aware of what and who has completed set tasks.

The role enabled me to interact with customers who had ordered and purchased product being concrete from the company, along with other laborers and a driver I would attend each site and complete any tasks required. By doing so I could be expected to complete, heavy lifting, using wheelbarrows to move concrete where small access created barriers for the wagons and all concrete pouring and smoothing/setting duties.
I was, along with other staff members expected to resolve any quires that customers may have or make any rectifications to work they are dissatisfied with after communicating this will my employer. I feel this not only demonstrated my ability to complete manually straining and demanding work but also my problem skills.

My work at A1 Homescapes started in 2010 and ended in 2011 due to the work being seasonal and unreliable regarding hours available.
