About
Motivated and organised construction professional with 12 years' experience working across new builds, extensions, repairs and commercial projects. Through my time on site, I have developed a strong understanding of construction processes, materials, quality standards and the importance of accuracy when working to specifications and deadlines. I am now looking to progress my career into estimating and develop my knowledge of technical drawings, quantity take-offs, pricing and tender preparation.
I bring practical construction experience, strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate effectively with different trades and teams. Alongside my construction background, I am developing my Microsoft Office skills, including Excel, and I am eager to learn from an experienced estimating team while building a long-term career within the commercial side of construction.
