KEY SKILLS / ABILITIES

Since leaving school I have worked in the construction/engineering industries until June 2006.

My main duties were the installation of piping services at numerous locations throughout

the UK and worldwide. During the latter stages of my career I was predominantly involved

in the supervisory and quality aspects of the trade. Due to the variety of work I have carried

out I consider myself to have a sound working knowledge of various piping systems and

with my newly acquired skills in CAD and IT see myself as an asset to any company.
