Summary

The position I am seeking is one where I can fully utilise my technical skills with a more hands-on approach, which is the main reason that I prefer rural / remote / mine site type work where employees at all levels tend to get involved in all aspects of the tasks. In addition, I also enjoy a mentoring role to technicians, tradesmen, apprentices and TA’s so that I can pass on my experience in all aspects of telecommunications and electrical gained over many years on many different technologies that make up the telecommunications and electrical range of offerings.
