Summary

Graduated with Heavy Equipment Fitting Certificate in Mount Hagen Technical College. I was offered 4 years contract to do my 4 years of Apprentice with Porgera Gold Mine (Placer Dome). After completing the 4 years, I was offered a job as a tradesman fitter at Shovels and Drills section, mainly face shovels, drills and diggers. I was carrying out field services and breakdowns. I resigned and joined Hastering Deering to gain more experiences on different machineries and moved to Hastering Deering OkTedi Gold Mine. After working with different mining companies in Papua New Guinea and Australia, I have gained a lot of experiences in Mining and Construction Equipment. I’m willing to serve a company with all the best of my ability with all the experiences that I have gained from both PNG and Australia. I work safely, manage time efficiency and do a better job for the customer/client in accordance with the company’s policies. I have worked around the mines around Bowen Region in Central Queensland and some parts of Western Australia. Please do not hesitate to contact me on mobile phone number provided above. Thank you so much Service-oriented Senior Field Technician successful at maximizing customer satisfaction. Skilled in managing documentation, inventory and reporting. Demonstrated abilities in Type equipment repair and maintenance.
