Pursuit of new business and building long term customer relationships.

Customer support, customer on-boarding and sales.

I have been involved in project development of large and small-scale operations. I have carried out physically demanding tasks both individually and in teams. I have worked with and alongside other contractors in unison on projects and land developments.I have worked with clients, in a wide range of working environments from vineyard developments to repairs to dams and wells.I am a quick and willing learner and in this job I had to be very hands on and learn on the fly. I am confident in my learning abilities and I really thrive on the challenge of performing tasks that are difficult and take skill. For example, I had to learn how to operate a digger, concrete reinforce elbow bends in mainline pipe and seal joins in mainline pipe with little to no experience.

The Cadetship involved six months experience working in a Winery, including harvest, followed by a further six months experience working in a vineyard.I learnt how to deal with time pressure whilst in the winery. During harvest I worked with grapes and wine that had to be tended to quickly, in an aim to avoid spoil, as well as carrying out transfers and at times complicated additions in stressful situations.I am competent in working both individually and in a team. Working as part of a harvest crew made up of several nationalities, some who spoke little English, was able to improve my communication skills and learn how to communicate in Spanish by the end of the harvest. I can think on my feet, improvise and adjust under pressure. Within the winery were great responsibilities. At times I worked independently with up to 100,000 liters of wine, also operating tractors equipped with complicated machinery. I have worked with vineyard sprays and chemicals within the winery, which has enabled my views on occupational workplace safety. All of this has helped to improve my character when working under pressure.At times during the harvest I would work twelve-hour shifts, at most working eleven days in a row. I am not afraid to roll my sleeves up and work hard for long hours on end to achieve the goals of the organisation.
