Summary

Motivated and safety-conscious candidate with a Bachelor of Health Science & Therapy Studies and a strong suite of industry certifications, including Working at Heights, Confined Space, Gas Testing, Breathing Apparatus, Dangerous Goods, White Card, and First Aid/CPR. Physically resilient and fully fit for FIFO, supported by a current medical clearance and police clearance. At Rebel Sport, I have assisted over 12,000 customers and contributed to more than $1.5 million in revenue, consistently achieving positive outcomes without detractors. This performance demonstrates my discipline, reliability, and ability to thrive under pressure — qualities directly transferable to the demanding role of an Underground Driller's Offsider. Recognised for adaptability, safety awareness, and teamwork, I bring the physical capability, strong work ethic, and hazard-conscious mindset required for remote site operations. I am eager to apply these strengths to support drilling operations and develop long-term expertise in the mining industry. Currently seeking to commence a career as a Driller's Offsider in the underground mining sector, where I can apply my safety knowledge, physical capability, and team-oriented mindset to support operations and progress within the field.
