In all, I'm a hands on mechanic that will have a go at anything and give it my best go. I'm always happy to learn new skills and not afraid to ask questions or for help if I need it. I'm always on time and ready to work. I'm flexible and able change my plans and circumstances to suit requirements. I'll always try to do my job the safest way possible.
over the 4 years spent working as an apprentice for Boyes Equipment Services and later Worthy Engineering after the business was sold, I spent alot of time in component rebuilds.
this includes:
-planetary and cluster-shaft transmissions
-Caterpillar engines like the C15/18
-R2900-G wheel groups
-R2900-G front and rear differentials
-777F/D wheel groups
-12/14/16 M/H series front and rear axles
-12/14/16 M/H series brake groups
-12/14/16 M/H series circle groups including drawbar and blade groups
-Kessler D111 wheel groups
-Rebuilt a large range of HYD cylinders
I've also spent a lot of time in field service for Worthy Engineering as well, across a fair selection of sites across WA this time included major works such as mid life rebuilds, component change outs and centre hitches on a wide selection of surface and underground equipment. As well as extended periods of labour hire. Below is a list of the majority of the machines I've got experience with.
Underground:
-1700 and 2900 CAT loaders
-AD45/55B/60/63 CAT trucks

I have a decent amount of experience with light vehicles mostly covering the most common Toyota Hilux and Landcruiser models found on most mine sites. As well as extensive fabrication experience from building transport stands and cradles for rebuilt and service exchange components, major and minor crack repair and complete refurbishment of components like lift frames and tilt levers.
