What’s a typical day like for you at work? And how do you feel about the work you do?
As a project manager, I enjoy the different challenges each day brings. Whether it’s delivering materials to the various jobs going on or negotiating with contractors and suppliers. I need to check in regularly with all my colleagues to make sure they have everything they need, and I am more than happy to lend a hand where needed.
Â
What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?
I have over 15 years of experience as a qualified builder and over 10 years as a foreman. I would say I have good technical expertise from completing a vast range of construction projects, from a farm shed to a multi-million dollar commercial build. I have good problem-solving skills, which help when any issues arise on a job, and we might need to change how it was originally planned.
Â
What do you like/enjoy about your work?
I enjoy managing a project from start to finish and being able to help the younger colleagues out where I can to help their skills grow. I like the variety of jobs and being able to plan out each stage to keep on track for completion.
Â
Name three words that describe you.
Problem-solver. Detail-oriented. Good communicator.
Â
Do you have any skills or talents that most people don’t know about? Or what do you like to do outside of work?
I enjoy being outdoors, whether it be hunting, fishing, diving or spending time with the family.
Â
What’s a goal you have for yourself that you want to achieve?
I have just achieved building our own family home, and I would like to do another in the future as well as purchasing a rental property.
