Summary

I have 18 years experience in the concrete industry in New Zealand. I am interested in expanding my skill set and would like to work within a factory setting. I have previously held a forklift, wheel track and rollers and class 2 licence in New Zealand. I will be looking at renewing these in Australia if work prohibits.

I have recently relocated to Sydney from New Zealand with my wife and 4 children.

I am a quick learner, and pick up new skills easily.

I have my full Australian licence.
