Summary

Good Morning

Below is my Resume for your consideration.


I have applied for permanent residency in Canada and still waiting for confirmation.


My believe my work history in NZ, Australia, Canada and Papua Niugini flying Bell 212/412 on single pilot utility operations, has prepared me well for a position flying for McDermott Aviation.

I have extensive hot and high altitude, Mountain (14500Ft DA), long-lining (220ft), snow and remote operations, as well as managing a large pool of pilots, check/training and fire suppression in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

At present I'm flying a winch equipped 412EP for Kestrel Aviation in Australia. But with the season coming to an end I would very much like to stay on fire contracts.


I worked in Canada back in 2004/5 for Airborne Energy.

From there I spent 14 years flying 212/412's in Papua Niugini with extensive longline operations and also several contracts in New Zealand on core drills and fires.

Also Four years flying H145D3 in New Zealand.

Regards

Shaun Ferguson
