I have gained practical experience working in contractor and site-based environments, supporting maintenance and repair of heavy equipment under varying conditions. My background has strengthened my mechanical troubleshooting skills, especially on older-model Caterpillar machines, where hands-on diagnosis is essential. I am comfortable working independently or as part of a team, following work instructions, and adapting to new equipment, tools, and procedures. I am safety-conscious, reliable, and willing to undertake further training to meet company and site-specific standards. I am also open to relocation and shift-based work schedules.
