About me:
Candidate Info :
I am a responsible and reliable 33yo male Australian Citizen who is seeking HR driving work as a newly-licenced driver, after wanting a career change from the Project Logistics sector I have worked in for the past 10+ years.
My career has always involved the arrangement and planning of trucking loads, and the hands on supervision and planning of road transport, which allows me considerable industry knowledge.
I live on the northside of Brisbane and have my own reliable transport and am happy to work irregular shift times and overtime. I am prompt and understand the importance of deadlines. At present I prefer to gain employment on a casual (ad-hoc) basis, preferably based on the northside.
I maintain a defensive driving style, having never been in a vehicle accident previously in 16 years of driving. I also have considerable mechanical knowledge of diesel engines.
I am healthy and reasonably fit, and whilst I can handle some manual labour I prefer this to be minimised.
