Broadford,VIC
Summary
I have six years of experience operating a variety of heavy machinery in both single and multi-bench open-cut production pits, specialising in the extraction of basalt, granite, quartz, sand, and other hard rock materials. My extensive knowledge of safety procedures and guidelines in open-cut environments ensures compliance and promotes a culture of safety around heavy machinery. I thrive in production settings, consistently motivating myself and my team to achieve production targets efficiently and safely. Within my next role I am currently seeking to expand my knowledge and skills within an environment that challenges me.
