To Whom it May Concern,
Assistant Site Manager/Experienced Finishing Manager & Sub-Contractor Project Manager (Aluminium Doors and Windows)
Available Immediately
Please find attached a copy of my CV for your perusal.
I have 15 years building/construction with assistant site management and finishing management experience of which 10 of these years were gained in the UK. I have invaluable experience through working initially from entry level trades and then into project & site management positions. This has provided me with a sound knowledge of all building aspects as well as the necessary hands on experience to assume management responsibilities. This has been of great benefit to the development of my skill set in that my experience ranges extensively, through various fields including renovation, refurbishments, decorating, finishing, maintenance as well as extensive liaison with the Client and the Clerk of Works relating to design issues. Using my practical experience I was able to leverage myself into management positions whereby I assumed project management, client liaison, staff supervision and health & safety procedure responsibilities.
Most of my assignments have been for multi million ZAR or GBP refurbishments or construction projects. Positions I have held range from Assistant Site Manager and Finishing Site Agent positions. Of recent, my main position was as Project Manager whereby each contract I held was completed to an extremely high and professional standard. I am looking for similar positions whereby I can add value from a project, site or property management and finishing perspective as well as knowledge transfer relating to the implementation of systems, streamlining and focus on Health & Safety standards.
I consider myself a reliable, loyal and professional employee. I strive for perfection and have a keen eye for detail as well as strong management and leadership ability.
I have an Irish passport and South African Passport and I am available for work immediately and to work internationally.
