The diversity of my experience in construction / building / mining ensures an ability to function across a range of positions, including Project Management, supervision, boilermaker, carpenter, and rigger. In each position I successfully demonstrated an ability to meet technical requirements and deliver safe services to industry standards. At a practical level I offer your organisation the following skills and capabilities: • Applying my knowledge and experience as a Project Manager / Lead • Experience in supervising teams in the construction and mine industries • Safe fabrication and rigging practices in above ground and underground construction industries • Experience maintenance on paste plants and paste lines, underground and above ground crusher and conveyor systems, and heavy vehicle repairs • Advanced commitment to safety with an excellent record My experience in similar positions clearly indicates an ability to meet the demands associated with any role and cope with living away from home, often in challenging locations. I demonstrate an ability to continue to undertake further training and professional development in order to increase my capacity to achieve outcomes.
