Summary
Practical, safety-focused technician with 3+ years in fast-paced, safety-critical operations. Skilled LO forklift operator and inventory specialist who consistently met productivity targets, delivered new-hire training, and maintained rigorous safety and equipment inspection standards. Volunteer firefighter with a Cert II in Building & Construction, strong mechanical aptitude, and a reliable, team-oriented approach seeking full-time technical work. I enjoy playing footy at my local club, going for runs, and spending time with mates whenever I get the chance.
