What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a company that fosters innovation and values teamwork, where I can contribute my skills in construction and facilities management.

I am an experienced, practical, and forward-thinking individual with a thorough understanding of how construction works. I excel in resolving building problems quickly and efficiently, ensuring compliance with specifications and safety standards. My ability to communicate effectively with building occupiers and service users has been a key asset in my career.

Currently, I serve as a Clerk of Works at G4 Consulting Engineers, where I conduct inspections, read blueprints, and ensure that all work meets the highest standards. My previous roles have included Resident Facilities Supervisor and Senior Maintenance Technician, where I managed subcontractors and ensured the smooth operation of facilities management services across multiple sites.

I am now seeking a fresh challenge with a dynamic company that values respect, innovation, and a commitment to excellence in construction and facilities management.
