SUMMARY
I have worked at Pacific National for the last 14 years. I have spent the majority of that time
working as a driver, and I have also had experience working as a terminal operator.
Throughout my career, I have continued to work towards personal goals as well as company
goals. I am always willing to learn new things and take on new responsibilities and I have.
The knowledge and skills I have developed
becoming a senior driver, combined with the competencies I have achieved, are completely
transferable across all the areas of the rail network.
I am a confident communicator and believe that clear and concise communication is key to
the operations running smoothly. This includes conducting thorough hand-overs between
shifts to ensure safety and efficiency of the job. I have excellent time management skills and
can balance the practical aspects of my job with the administrative requirements. I take
initiative in the work place and I use my knowledge and experience to prevent issues from
occurring. However, when unexpected issues do arise, I am able to think on feet and find safe
solutions in a timely manner.
Safety has always been my main focus and I always take the time to do things the right way,
to avoid injury and costly errors and I always strive to work efficiently, following procedures
and adhering to protocol. I maintain my integrity as a hard worker and take accountability for
my work. I know Aurizon strives on good team ethic and as an active team member, I will be
productive in my role, aiming for timely delivery of the product and overall customer
satisfaction
