Qualifications:

I am a young enthusiastic architect from Spain looking for an opportunity to build upon my existing work experience. I can describe myself as a hard-working and efficient person not only individually but also, a good team player working with others, and capable of making decisions and solving problems under deadline pressure whilst remaining optimistic and positive. In addition to being focused and responsible, I am open- minded and trustful, with a high level of stamina at work. I am also good at interpersonal skills, especially in intercultural environments. Several years of experience in a successful architectural office also have helped to increase my skills as an architect through the design of several large scale buildings. I have experience in project planning and the ability to manage a team of people. As well as having relevant knowledge and experience, I am experienced in the use of architecture software and in complying with applicable building regulations. This makes me confident that I can face most challenges.
