Parkes,NSW

Summary

I am interested in gaining employment within your establishment. I believe I have the educational Background, professional experience, and track record for which you are searching for. I consider myself a Mature, motivated, enthusiastic, reliable, stable and very grounded all rounder to have on your team, as a long-term employee. I have grown up on a local farm in Peak Hill, helping with all the usual farming practices like, driving tractors, driving trucks during harvest, stock handling feeding milking and maintenance. I have also owned and operated my own lawn mowing business in Sydney handling all garden tools from Lawn mowers, brush cutters, blowers, hedgers, weeding, windows and house cleaning, customer liaisons acquiring new customers. This was for over 18 years. I also am very capable with mechanical tools and woodworking tools as it's always been a hobby to make and fixing things. I have spent many years as a house cleaner for motels also, so I know how a Motel should be cleaned to above standard. I was managing/caretaking the Plainsman Motel in Forbes as my last Motel gig but left due to no home-life-work balance with over 3 years in that industry being 24/7 every day. I have my HR licence, white card and inducted to North Parkes Mines by Qbirt. I have not had much experience in road ranger's gear box trucks HR driving though. In saying that I've certainly had a lot of years driving H geared trucks/riding/cars etc and hoping for a run/trial to prove myself. I am Parkes based with a 17 year old at home who is independent now. I look forward to speaking with you further regarding any available positions within your establishment that will suit my skill set.

I have been working with Qbirt at the North Parkes Mines E31 open cut pits driving Cat 775 and 777 dump trucks since 6/5/24 till 12/11/24 as they are putting workers off due to winding down this current contract as its near an end with too many numbers in crews running.
