About me:

Candidate Info :
Fit, adaptable and keen to work.
Have undertaken rostered work, often in remote, hostile locations for the past 35 years. Most recently having 7 years (on/off) in PNG before being made redundant due to COVID 19
These days I am not a huge fan of night shift but will do if essential (not long term). otherwise, anything goes.
I am comfortable both working in a team or autonomously. Respect has bee earned with my peers for my skills and dedication to getting the job done, and ensuring everyone under my control returns home safely.
My multitude of skills has enabled me to understand the rationale and processes required across a variety of industries.
I easily develop strong relationships with the workforce, board members and industry associated stakeholders. That said, I am not averse to getting my hands dirty and undertaking a variety of manual tasks (which I enjoy).
I am certainly no gym junkie but get out daily on my mountain bike and punch out around 800km/month.
Lets talk.
