Gathering this data and sharing with engineers within Telstra to tweak and edit antenna bearings and outputs to better the network and provide optimal coverage to customers
- Special event coverage deployment. Helping deploy COWS (Cellular on Wheels) at multiple events like, Easter show, Women's FIFA world cup, x-mas time in CBD, and many other rural events to help with coverage.

Telecommunications Civil
CCC
01.2020 - 01.2021
- CCC was my first job after school which was my first introduction in the Telecommunication world. Working at CCC day to day work consisted of pit and pipe installation, fibre hauling, pit removal, fibre tagging, trenching for new pipe laying, excavating both dirt, road and footpaths.
- A requirement for this job was to obtain my traffic controller license to help prioritise safety of members of the public as we undertook work. My traffic license also allows me to plan and implement signage to raise awareness to vehicles and pedestrians about the work ahead.
- We also troubleshooted fibre breaks and repaired breaks using OTDR's and splicers. The enforcement of Coivd-19 rules in 2020/21 forced me out the job which later lead me to find my way into a trainee role at Telstra.
