Summary

I currently work at Goonyella Riverside Mine with BHP OS as an NTI Watercart Operator on Minimal, I am a hardworking employee enthusiastic about learning and whilst I have many skills, Operating Machinery is my first love and what I am pursuing permanently. There is nothing else I want to be doing as being an operator and skilled on quite a number of pieces of machinery, given the opportunity to be trained on equipment of a much more technical scale, I know I will succeed.
