My name is Ruby draper, I'm 20 years of age and have been working for aqua metro for 3 years and 7 months. I first started when i was 16 and knew not a thing about civil but here i am almost 4 years later as a leading hand and couldn't be happier with how hard iv worked to get to this position. I am now on the rise for a new challenge and new experiences to develop my career as well as my knowledge in the field and it has been a very long dream of mine to work alongside Delcon and to hopefully be apart of the team. One thing i pride myself on is being one of the few female construction workers who really love to show that i can thrive in a male dominate industry and that im not afraid to put in the hard work and get in amongst it.
I am currently working on the Yan yean to Bald Hill pipe line project for Aqua metro along side Delcon and SFP. My role is a leading hand to the pipe laying crew during the week days and supervisor to a skeleton crew for the weekend works. I have also worked on melbourne waters main relining crew, worked in ETP and WTP in maintenance work and rebuilds. I have also done earthmoving and wetlands work.
I have done large scale pipe laying, storm water and sewer main re-lining, canusa wrapping, Main to meter installations, i am a ticketed Dogman and spotter, i have my working at heights, fire service and repairs. I am also responsible for assembling and installing air valves and scour valves.
I have operated machines :
5tonne - 35 tonne excavators.
30 tonne Moxy truck (dump truck)
25 tonne franna
12 tonne Pad foot/drum rollers
Front end loader
Tickets and skills i have accumulated over my time include:
