Summary
I work well in team and on my own. I have a mechanical aptitude. I completed a Panel Beating apprenticeship and have since spent the rest of my working life, between earthmoving and maritime industries. I have a general understanding of compliance/safety around the workplace. With my previous work experience, I am adaptable to most working environments. Having recently moved from Central Otago to Coastal North Otago, I am now seeking either fixed short term or casual employment.
