I have 28 years of Mechanical Mining Maintenance experience covering a very broad range of responsibilities. Starting as a Boilkermaking Apprentice in 1996 moving into Boilermaking trade in 2000 and then though the journey of Tradesman to Conveyor Supervisor in the present day.

In 2014 I was handed the responsibility of all conveyor maintenance at Weipa Operations for RioTinto Operations and have since transferred to Gove Operations RioTinto.
