Summary

I am currently a full time employee for Air New Zealand ground handling services with experience in operating machinery, safe ground handling practices, being hands on with tools in a workshop environment and working as a team to ensure the completion of the task effectively and safely. I believe my passion for aviation and experience working in an unpredictable airside environment would make me a great candidate for the engineering apprenticeship.
