Carpenter LinkedIn About section example

I'm a Red Seal carpenter who's spent ten years on residential and commercial sites in the GTA, most of it in concrete formwork and framing. On my last project I ran formwork for a 12-storey residential building. We stayed ahead of the pour schedule by planning our gang forms early and keeping the crew on the same layout system. I read drawings confidently, do my own layout and work safely at heights. I also have finish experience — stairs, trim and doors — for interior phases. Tickets: Working at Heights, WHMIS, First Aid. I'm open to lead hand roles with general contractors in Toronto. Let's connect.
