Additional Information
My training in the ADF has been diverse in many different roles from my primary skillset as a mechanical fitter. Ranging from engineering supporting roles in deployable diving units to management and training of personnel in Marine platform propulsion departments on different vessels.
Currently I am employed full time in the Royal Australian Navy, upon delivery of a letter of offer I would be available to commence my discharge and be available to start work early June 2024 or possibly sooner depending on the ADF.
I currently reside in Baldivis WA in my own private rental and be able to undertake a FIFO role out of Perth.
I have a full Class C manual licence and private motor vehicle available for transportation needs.
