Summary

Im currently working casually between Callidus/Taylors/Programmed offering shut down support to the mining & oil and gas sector, through Team leading & Supervision or on the tools if required.

I have a strong manual machining background working to Stringent/Meticulous standards which gave me a solid foundation for quality work & standards in both Fitting & Machining, which i pride myself on as well as efficiency and managing my time to meet deadlines.

I believe i would make a good addition to your company because i love taking on new challenges and learning is one of my passions which appeals to working on Nuclear Submarines. I am self-sufficient and have a good work ethic & a very high regard to safety.

I have very little obligations in regards to my work/lifestyle so i am open to immediate & short notice starts/relocations if required.
