Summary
Eight years in the game across mining, shutdowns, construction, maintenance, and even city builds around Perth has given me more than just scaffolding skills — it’s taught me how to keep jobs moving safely and on time in any environment.
I don’t just tick boxes; I stay switched on. Proactive hazard reporting, running and working within mixed crews, and keeping standards high with permits, JSA/JHA, isolations/LOTO, and take-5s are second nature.
I’m ready to step in at Roy Hill and hit the ground running. Any roster, any crew, immediate start — I bring experience, reliability, and a safety-first mindset that gets results.
