Summary
Dependable, dynamic, hard-working professional operator with over 30 years of experience in the transport and logistics industry, spanning multiple driving and operating roles. I adhere to all fatigue management policies with high regard for safety first. With a strong commitment to excellence and a passion for delivering results, my focus is on completing all given tasks effectively and efficiently. My combination of skills, commitment, experience, and confidence helps me adapt easily to new and challenging environments and opportunities, accompanied by a go-get-it attitude. I operate well in either a team environment or autonomous roles. I have spent 14 years operating multiple trailer combinations in and around the Pilbara, WA, ex-Perth, and I'm very familiar with mine site regulations, inductions, isolation, roading, and weather conditions. I am excited about an opportunity to grow within your esteemed organization bringing a positive attitude towards your operations. Currently im operating quad road trains based in Port Hedland transporting iron ore from 2 of your mining operations, Iron valley and Wonmunna. I look forward to furthering my career by evolving my experience in this industry, bringing my strong work ethic, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence.
