Summary
I am a 25-year-old professional residing in Galway, Ireland, currently employed as a Junior Estimator for a medium-sized main contractor operating in Ireland and the UK. I am seeking an opportunity to relocate to New York in early 2025 through the Trainee Visa program to work as a construction estimator. I am enthusiastic about advancing my career by taking on larger and more complex construction projects in New York while also gaining valuable life experience by living in a dynamic urban environment.
