Tristen Cawood

Wentworthville,NSW

Summary

I Tristen Cawood am a 17 year old male who left school towards the end of year 10 at 15 as i wanted become a mechanic. I successfully applied and began working at Big Wheel Tyre and Auto in October of 2022, i have made alot of new friends here and learnt alot of knowledge and experiences at big wheels during my time. i am always punctual.


I feel i have learnt alot from my mentors at Big Wheels and appreciate everything that they have taught me.

I attend TAFE each week on a Monday for my light vehicle mechanics cert 3, and have just successfully completed my 1st year.



I am confident in working on my own and enjoy working in a team. I really enjoy learning from anyone who is willing to teach me.


I do sometime take a little longer on certain jobs this is not on purpose but just being precautious and i am working on my time management.


I am dedicated to learning as much as possible, finishing my cert 3, gaining as much experience as possible, furthering my education in the future and possibly starting my own mobile mechanics one day.
