Joshua Knoefel

Currently undertaking a Trade Upgrade from LV to Auto Electrician with Barminco at an underground mine FIFO. In my role I have acquired skills and knowledge pertaining to servicing/preventative maintenance and breakdowns on various equipment such as: Sandvik trucks, drills and loaders Normet spraymec, charmec and watercart, Volvo IT's Mack and Hino trucks. Fit well into a FIFO environment and easily integrate into workplace culture.

Mainly based in a surface workshop but have been underground on occasions to assist with breakdowns.

I am highly motivated in gaining knowledge and building experience in all facets of my career. I have gained experience in the local Perth field service breakdown role with Jungheinrich with an emphasis on electrical and hydraulic issues. In the time I have been there, I have collected the product knowledge to be comfortable going to any breakdown scenario and come up with a solution. While also being dedicated to maintaining optimal equipment functionality through servicing and preventative maintenance.

In regards to my Light Vehicle background. I have experience with almost all makes and models of car, but possess specialised training with Audi/Volkswagen. I hold good knowledge with modern European brands such as BMW, Range Rover and Mercedes‑Benz, And also high‑end luxury brands such as Bentley and Porsche and niche sports/super cars such as Lotus.

I am highly responsible, reliable and used to handling important jobs/roles. I have excellent time management and am a highly organised, multifaceted and a flexible worker who is usually handling multiple job roles and multiple jobs at the same time.

I am a quick learner; I am passionate about my work and always looking to progress and better myself through experience and training. I’m friendly, polite, well‑mannered, easy to get along with and a team player. I always do my best and pride myself on being able and willing to help others professionally and personally.
