Organizational Skills

Good organizational ability has been essential in all my appointments.

My organizational skills have allowed me to schedule work required based on priority needed to be completed to keep a fleet of machines at maximum operating capacity.

Communication Skills

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

As I graduated year 12 at high school both my written and spoken communication skills are of a very good standard. I have developed a high degree of literacy and an ability to communicate in a fluent manner on a wide variety of topics and issues through various Mechanical and diesel fitting positions in the Marine, Mining and Commercial industries. In addition, I have extensive experience in reporting hazards, damage and organizing required maintenance. I have also undertaken training in managing visitors and sub-contractors on site and getting involved in personal safety and risk assessments.

Teamwork & Interpersonal

In most appointments, I have been required to work un-supervised and or as a team member. These experiences have deepened my awareness of group dynamics and methods of dealing with conflict. The ability to work both as a member of a team and autonomously has been essential in most positions in which I have been employed. I have managed apprentices and worked side by side with various tradesmen and have always enjoyed a good rapport with them, both at work and socially. My current role is part of a team of FIFO fitters / technicians on an even time roster which includes carrying out a hand over of all ongoing repairs etc. with my back to back every hitch.
