Summary
Currently looking for new opportunities after several years of living and working in the Kimberley Region of WA. I have an extensive and diverse experience base across Tourism & Holiday parks (5-star, Eco-resorts, lodges and campgrounds) mining, construction, commercial, production and oil/gas industries. My partner and I have been travelling and working through WA and NT since 2022, over the last 6 months I have taken time off paid work to self-build a 4wd motorhome for us to live in and have now relocated to QLD where I hope to continue my work in the maintenance field. I enjoy outdoor work environments. Although my career has led me towards supervision and management I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to work hands-on when possible. I spend my recreational time camping, 4wding, fishing and working on mechanical and electronic projects.
