Summary

Having spent 11 years of employment in service, the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) I am now looking to find new employment here in Perth. I am an active, organised, and hardworking individual that possesses a drive to see things through to its completion. Additionally, I am used to working long shifts, moving at short notice, and working away from home for extended periods, making me well-suited to the FIFO environment. I have a deep understanding of operational procedures, with a strong emphasis on prioritising health and safety. My adaptable leadership, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities would make me an asset in the Civil or Mining Industry. I am based in Perth; I have a White Card for Western Australia, tickets for working at heights, confined spaces, gas test atmospheres and Medium Rigid Licence. Available to start April 2024I have good communication and written skills and I work well in a team environment as well as independently. I believe I am a valuable team member, a great character and that I can be an asset to any team and future prospective employer.
