Summary
I have spent the majority of my career working within heavy industries as a miner, offshore oil rig worker and more lately at a steel mill.
When working offshore I started in the lowest position as a slinger. Through hard work and dedication I gained multiple promotions climbing the ladder to supervisor, finishing my career offshore as a operations planning manager.
I have previous experience working as a face miner and throughout my career I am able to operate many different types of machinery.
I am a keen hard worker who can work as part of a team, as a team supervisor or on my own initiative.
I always plan my tasks to ensure that operations are performed safely and to company policy's.
