Summary

A sensible and intelligent worker with a passion for heavy equipment, who places emphasis on integrity, reputation, mitigating risk, budget, timeline, being personable and polite.

Extensive experience in job roles with various types of heavy equipment operation, supervising staff specifically heavy equipment operators, computer skills including CAD design and 3D rendering, and nightshift experience.

I have always been very interested in employment within a mine setting for the exposure to such a large scale operation with large equipment and the opportunities that this brings. I enjoy living and working in a mountain setting.

My goal in perusing work is to find enjoyment in my job and progress my career to a higher level. I believe that I hold attributes and skills that would suit a career in mining.
