Summary

With 27 years of experience in the IT industry and 17 years as a boilermaker/welder specializing in heavy earth moving equipment, including container frame and dockside lifting equipment, I have developed a diverse skill set. My expertise extends to container frame and heavy forklift repairs and maintenance, as well as shutdown work at Lysaght steel mills and Loyang power station which also consisted on maintenance of structural components. I have also worked on food processing conveyor systems, combustion systems engineering, and had a brief period building pleasure craft steel (Yachts). As a dynamic team-oriented professional and analytical thinker, I am driven by results and thrive in collaborative environments. My broad range of technology knowledge is supported by my excellent work ethic and self-starter attitude. I possess strong drawing reading skills and extensive experience in various welding techniques such as TIG, MIG, and Stick. Additionally, I am well-versed in working with stainless steel and mild to high carbon steel. As a professional tradesperson, I am fully prepared for demanding boilermaking roles. Throughout my career, I have excelled in fabricating, assembling, and repairing boilers and large containers. Safety compliance and efficient work practices are always at the forefront of my approach, reflecting my commitment to quality and reliability. Known for collaborating effectively with team members and adapting to evolving project needs, my technical skills combined with a dependable work ethic make me a valuable asset to any organization.
