Summary
I am a very experienced Maintenance Fitter and Turner and Fabricator with excellent communication skills. Im extremely easy to get along with and have a good sense of humour. I think nearly anything is possible. I can follow instruction and work safely alone with safety being the top concern on any job.
i Know what i know and know what i dont and am not afraid to ask a question and honestly love coming home having learnt something new.
I wouldnt apply for a job i felt i wouldnt be great at and like to hit the ground running to become productive as soon as possible.
