About me:

Candidate Info :
To prospective employers, I am 32 living on the Northside of Brisbane with my partner and two children.
I was employed as a plant manager but prior to that I was an Owner operator working within the Car Carrying Industry and looking to branch out to other prospective fields to build on my current skill set.
I am driven, mechanically minded, organized, punctual, easy going and adaptable. I have plant operator and people management background from basic laboring to managing staff/contractors of 20+.
I have no limitations in regards to work environments or physical abilities happy to partake in night or day shift work as well as longer shift patterns so overtime is not an issue. I am double vaxxed so can do interstate work if you desire.
I have numerous tickets and licenses alongside a Diploma of Leadership and Management with related experience.
Look forward from hearing from you!
Thank you.
