Summary
I have recently moved back home to NL with the intention to find a part time job to keep busy in early retirement from handyman positions in Ontario. I have many years experience in garbage collection, roofing, carpentry and siding. This experience has developed my skills to be able to take on handyman jobs for the last 20 years in Ontario.
My 5 years as a garbage collector and my experience in waste management makes me an ideal candidate for the Cavendish waste management facility. My experience has allowed me to follow routes to remove refuse, create proper documentation and keeping operations running without incident.
