Elliott Heads,QLD

Summary

Highly skilled and mechanically minded with the ability to work in any environment. I have underground mining experience where I operated as part of a Paste/Projects/Service Crew at the Tanami Gold Mine in the Northern Territory. I am seeking the opportunity to join a company with a long term role where I undertake new challenges and grow personally and professionally. I have twenty plus years experience working in construction where I have learnt to adapt to many different climates, living away from home, personalities and so many more physical/mental challenges each project can deliver. From all of this I can honestly say that I love a good challenge. My attitude has helped me excel in any role I undertake wether it is a job that I have vast experience with or one that I have very little, where I pick up the responsibilities quickly and enjoy learning a new skill in the process. I have a strong work ethic, I am reliable and hard working. I take pride in my work, have a positive and happy personality, respect for fellow workers, good communication with all involved and last but definitely not the least working safely. With this driven attitude I am a valuable asset to any employer.
