About

I am a hardworking and adaptable professional with experience across hospitality, customer service, construction and machinery operations. I have strong communication and people skills developed through barista and front-of-house roles, where I consistently delivered high-quality service in fast-paced environments. My hospitality background has equipped me with excellent teamwork, problem-solving abilities and confidence when working directly with the public.

Alongside this, I have significant experience working on a wide range of building sites as a groundworker. My responsibilities have included operating machinery such as dumpers, assisting with drainage installation, transporting materials, and driving trailers and transit vehicles. I hold a valid CSCS Green Card and have proven myself to be a safe, reliable and competent worker on active sites.

I am an experienced driver with the ability to manage transportation tasks efficiently and safely. My flexibility and quick thinking allow me to adapt to new scenarios and learn on the job with confidence. Whether working independently or as part of a team, I bring a strong work ethic, initiative and a readiness to take on new challenges.
