Most of my experience on earthmoving machinery is on excavators 1.8t - 20t. Although I am competent in all aspects of operation with this size range, my desire and forte is in day to day operations. Allocations, quoting, estimations and job supervision is where I feel I can be used to best advantage.
I started as an operator and have evidently worked my way up through different roles and responsibilities but I have always kept in touch and kept handy with the machines, knowing one day I would need to operate again. I think it is important to not forget where you have come from but also to keep in touch with the machinery.
Due to my experience as a supervisor running security teams or as an operations manager running earthmoving companies, I see myself as a leader that people can rely on to get the job done in the best fashion. I like to problem solve and think that there is always a solution to any issue.
I have always built good working relationships with operators and staff. I truly believe in treating others how you like to be treated, which has what’s helped me build a trusting respectful relationship with my staff.
I am not afraid of hard work, new challenges or using my brain to think outside the box.
I strive to be a valuable asset in any role that I find myself in and will never say no to any task that’s put to me.
I hope that I can be that asset in this position for your company.
