Name: Mark Cousins

Position: Head carpenter

Age: 30

Nationality: New Zealand

   

 

Mark has been working on this present job at Wiseton Road as the head carpenter since the job started. He particularly enjoys being the head carpenter because he is working on the tools all day which he enjoys the most but he also has the added responsibility of coordinating his team of carpenters.

Mark studied for his apprenticeship in New Zealand fifteen years ago. To complete this you need to complete 8000 hours of work on site.

Wiseton Road is one of the most interesting projects he has worked on. The parts of this project he has enjoyed the most have been the parts he has been most heavily involved in. This has primarily been the challenging design of the rear extension and running through the design problems with the architect.

He says that Bayswater is a great company to work for. The main reason for this is that our resources are often moved from site to site as appropriate. This means that everyone knows each other on all the sites and there is a great community spirit in the company.  

His hobbies are snow boarding and scuba diving.
