Summary

Hi there,

I am 58 years young, I moved to Perth in October 2024.

I am an electrical fitter. For the past 10 years, I have mainly been responsible for completing all the earth bank testing on high and low voltage equipment, as well as partial discharge testing on high voltage terminations in the Bay of Plenty region, NZ. I am highly motivated and have a strong work ethic. I am great at working effectively, unsupervised, and fairly quick at mastering new skills.
