Personal statement
My name is Raukawa Matekohi. I am 30 years old and currently seeking full-time employment in any industry where I can stay active, contribute positively, and continue building my skills. I’m a vibrant, energetic, and hands-on individual who brings a strong sense of confidence, reliability, and motivation to every role I take on.
Throughout my work experience—including roles in frame and truss fabrication, scaffolding, food preparation, and support roles at the university—I’ve developed a solid understanding of workplace expectations such as punctuality, teamwork, following instructions, and maintaining safety standards. These roles have helped shape me into someone who works well under pressure, learns quickly, and takes pride in getting the job done right.
I am open to any full-time opportunity where I can be productive, stay challenged, and continue growing as a worker. I am physically fit, dependable, and always ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work.
As a Nailer/Fabricator at Placemakers Frame & Truss, I was responsible for assembling timber frames and trusses according to detailed plans and specifications. My tasks included accurately measuring, cutting, and nailing timber components using power tools and machinery. I worked efficiently as part of a team in a fast-paced production environment, ensuring all products met quality and safety standards. I also maintained a clean and organized work area, followed health and safety protocols, and consistently met daily production targets. Worked as a night shift supervisor with my heights card and also responsible for change over to day shift supervisor.
