PROFILE
My employment objective is to gain employment in an organisation which allows me to develop my knowledge and skills
in the areas of civil design, structural design, geotechnical design, project management and construction management. I
am particularly interested in the area of civil engineering projects.
I am looking at furthering my skills and experience in a challenging role. Whilst I would consider my main attributes to be
reliability, honesty and a hard working ethic, I also love challenges and consider myself a fast learner. I conduct myself
professionally and pride myself in being able to work under pressure. I can work unsupervised, use my own initiative
when appropriate and be equally comfortable working alone or as part of a team.
