Raukawa Matekohi

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.

• I also have my working at heights card C294847.

• As a Spanner Hand at Waikato B.O.P Scaffolding, I assisted in the dismantling of scaffolding on various residential and commercial sites. My role involved passing and securing scaffold components, tightening fittings with a spanner, and supporting the leading hand to ensure structures were built safely and efficiently. I followed all site safety protocols, worked well in a team, and maintained a strong awareness of hazards and manual handling techniques. I also helped with loading and unloading gear and keeping the work area up to health code.

• I have hands-on experience working in fast-paced food processing and production environments, where I followed strict hygiene, safety, and quality control in all areas. My responsibilities included preparing and packaging food products, operating machinery, monitoring production lines, and maintaining a clean work area. I am comfortable with repetitive tasks, shift work, and working as part of a team to meet daily targets and expectations will be completed and done to a quality standard.
