TOM COSTA
Perth,WA
Summary
I'm a welder with a little over 2 years' experience in France, specialising in the chemical, petrochemical, petroleum, nuclear and food industries. I have worked on metal structures, high-pressure pipes and stainless steel materials, developing a strong concern for precision, quality and safety. In Australia, I'm looking for a full-time or casual position in industry, a workshop or the mining sector, where I can broaden my skills and contribute to a new team. I am a self-starter, responsive and committed to delivering quality results in a safe environment.
