Summary
Since leaving school, my career journey has been deeply rooted in the meat processing industry, primarily in the role of a B grade boner. Throughout my tenure, which has seen me working at both the Invercargill and AFFCO Manawatu plants, I've acquired extensive expertise in meat cutting and processing. A significant aspect of my experience has been the necessity to adapt to shift work, particularly the demanding 4-days-on, 4-days-off roster. Despite the unconventional schedule, I've consistently delivered high-quality work, contributing to the efficient operation and success of the facilities. Now, I am seeking a change and am openly looking for opportunities in the mining industry, where I aspire to build a successful and fulfilling career. My proven adaptability, strong work ethic, and dedication to excellence make me a valuable asset ready to take on new challenges and contribute to the success of a mining operation.
