Summary
I'm a motivated and hardworking family man with a strong drive to grow both personally and in my career with KiwiRail. I take pride in managing my time well, putting in solid work, and making sure everything I do is up to a high standard. I've got hands-on experience in track work and now I'm keen to learn more about the inspector and asset management sides of the job. I'm confident I'd be a great fit for the inspector team — I’m reliable, eager to learn, and always ready to step up when needed. Long term, I'm aiming to move into asset management and keep developing my skills
