Summary
With a strong past in State and Federal Government and a number of different industries, my ability to adapt and make transitions into different occupations comes easy. My level or professionalism and work ethics have been described as solid and “old school” with very distinct attributes of honesty and team orientated to their full extent. Having decided to acquire relevant qualifications in machine operations, I now seek to further expand my career and seek employment in Plant Operations and progression into Supervision.
