Accomplishments
One of my key achievements has been progressing from a trainee role to a permanent haul truck operator across Bowen Basin mine sites. I have successfully completed site training and demonstrated consistent safe performance, strong attendance, and reliability in high-production environments with Thiess at Caval Ridge Mine. Outside of work, I maintain a strong focus on physical fitness and mental discipline through regular gym training and running, which supports fatigue management and performance on shift.

I am recognised for my positive attitude, willingness to learn, and commitment to ongoing personal and professional development.
