Summary
I am hard working, reliable and a trustworthy worker. I’ve been in Australia for 24 years and have been a Crew Leader for 21 of those years. I’ve learnt how to work professionally with other team members and with multiple Crews and Customers. I abide by working safely and following procedures at all times.
In my spare time I coach my grandsons under 7s rugby league team. I am very fit and healthy to work in any circumstances. Work and family are my main priorities and I take very serious.
I would be an asset to your company and give my all to working in the safest and efficient ways to get the jobs done. I look forward to bringing my skills and knowledge to the team. I give my thanks for taking the time and considering me for this role that I will give my all too.
