I commenced work with worsley alumina in 1989 on a 3 month trial then in february 1990 i commenced full time at worsley I originally started out with production operating dump trucks after 12 months i was trained up on dozers and loaders both working in a production environment . About 1993 a opportunity presented to join the newly formed mine development crew this role involved scraper operations stripping gravel and topsoil and doing rehab along with scrapers i was exposed to dozers doing rehab earth works and production bench prep its safe to say this role is where i found something i was extremely passionate about and to this day i still enjoy the challenges and rewards of the mine development work. As the mine development role has expanded i have had exposure to small loaders doing clearing and burning work and blast drill prep. I feel my work and work ethic is always to the highest standard
