Perth,Australia

Summary

Currently employed as an All Rounder and Leading hand with Rams Goldfields on Lynas Rare Earths Mt Weld site, providing civil earthworks, bulk haulage, crushing and screening, drill pad construction and drill pad rehabilitation. I am eager to advance my mining career in a new dynamic work environment, that will allow me the opportunity to continue building on the skills, knowledge, and experience I have already gained. I hold nationally recognised tickets for Excavator, Loader, Grader, Dozer, Skid steer and Articulated Dump Truck. I consider myself a very flexible, self-motivated individual, and work effectively both independently and as part of a team. With an aptitude for plant and heavy machinery operation, a meticulous eye for detail and a genuine commitment to workplace health and safety, I am enthusiastic about opportunities that allow me to grow with a business as a versatile Mobile Plant Operator and contribute as a valued team member.
