I have approximately 200 hrs on the Komatsu 930E

• I Helped my partner Tania with all daily duties, that included feeding, washing, dressing, as well as appointments and other matters.

My role as driver supervisor was to organize an 8 man crew for either a morning or afternoon shift change on a coal mine in central Queensland, with daily duties including safety Prestart meetings to discuss safety events regarding the coal mine and driving conditions and any issues with our fleet of buses .

Some other duties included mentoring, integrating new staff members training and support and as i lived in town and most of the crew stayed at a camp near the mine i would have the crew over my house for Bbq's and a swim in the pool which was great for team building and comradery amongst the group as a "happy worker is a good worker".

i also introduced simpler processes with our data recording and limited the amount of paperwork required by each driver for there daily run.

My daily duties included erecting aerial copper and optical fibre on the national telecommunications network as well as jointing of telstra copper cables and wiring of the NBN Nodes, contracting to companies such as Telstra, Isgm, Visionstream and Downer among others.
