Connor Watters
Congupna,VIC
Summary
Skilled in CNC machining and manual machinery, honed over a 4-year apprenticeship with JMAR Engineering, I excel in precision tooling and equipment handling. My work at Bunnings fortified exceptional customer service abilities, ensuring satisfaction and safety. Achievements include mastering diverse machining techniques and significantly enhancing client engagement through dedicated service and expertise.
Im no stranger to working long hours and juggling the load of working two jobs with shifts of up to 15 hours combined in a single day. I frequently stay back after hours to complete tasks and start early when it is needed. I have a strong work ethic and strive in all areas of working alone and in teams to complete required tasks. I enjoy a challenge when it comes to my work and I am a very hands on worker and learner. I pick up new skills quickly and I am always excited to learn new areas of my job even if they are outside of my job description.
