Seeking full time employment

Rockingham,WA

Summary

I am a 21 year old male who lives in Rockingham, I have my own transport, c-class license and forklift ticket.

I have a one year old son and a partner of five years who keeps me well grounded. I have a 14ft Savage with a 25hp Mercury in which I maintain with the help of my father who is very mechanically minded and has taught me the basics being leg oil, spark plugs and water pump.

I’m looking for full time employment and feel having a trade will be an important part of providing for them and working in a environment that aligns with my hobbies I’m sure I will be easy to teach and a asset to the company in time.

During my time at IGA I was involved in regular stock tacking which taught me to stay focused for long periods of time carrying out tedious tasks. Also gave me good experience with customer service.

My time as a fencing contractor taught me how to work hard but at a pace where I wouldn't burn out, as well as the importance of safety while using power tools or operating machinery and choosing the correct ppe for the task.

And finally whilst working for Geroldten Fisherman Corp, taught me the importance of listening carefully to instructions given, following workplace procedures, working as a team and meeting deadlines.

Hobbies And Interests

My main hobby is fishing and boating in general, which is why I feel I would really enjoy having the chance to work on marine equipment.

One of my main goals in life is too have a boat I can be as comfortable in the ocean as I can be in my lounge room but with a line in the water.
