Summary
I am a forward thinking, safety orientated electrician with experience working in teams on large fit outs, construction and industrial fixed plant maintenance for various mining companies such as BHP, Fremantle Ports, Rio-Tinto, FQM , PLS Lithium mine and Newmont Boddington gold mine. My primary focus on safety in the workplace and the ability to adapt to new challenges has allowed me to succeed in the workplace, motivating me to deepen my knowledge and skills in the electrical field. Furthermore, I have completed a Certificate IV in Instrumentation + PID skillset, that has given myself the ability to fault find instrumentation processes (density/level, flow, pressure and temperature measurement), test and reconfigure Instruments, develop and verify control programs for programmable controllers and the set up and adjustment of PID control loops.
