Summary
Hi, I am an energetic team player who is passionate about my job as a line mechanic, I honestly love the job satisfaction and variety of work in this industry. I feel that communication and safety are of top priority in this industry. I am looking to further my skill and qualifications and would like to gain HV Switching ticket (I am due to complete this this year 2024 through powernet) live line and Cable jointing. I have a wife and a 3 month old daughter so in my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, working on our house. I also enjoy other hobbies such as golf, Motorcycles and other outdoor activities. We are currently looking at relocating to a warmer climate closer to our family such as Christchurch. We have family up in the north island but would like to stay in the south island as we feel it is a better quality lifestyle down here. I look forward to hearing from you and appreciate your consideration of my application.
