Summary

With over seven years of experience in a safety-critical environment in the lift industry, I bring a proven commitment to operational safety, attention to detail, and technical problem-solving. As a dedicated professional, I thrive under pressure and excel in managing complex mechanical systems, skills I am eager to bring to Auckland One Rail. I am highly motivated to contribute to Auckland's growing public transport sector by ensuring the safe and efficient operation of metro train services. My hands-on background, proactive approach to safety, and aptitude for continuous learning make me well-prepared for the rigors of training and the responsibilities of a train driver. I am ready to embrace shift work and the intensive training schedule, confident in my ability to remain vigilant and adaptable in all conditions.
