• Field Technician

  • Nov 2019 - Feb 2021

  A field technician is responsible for the installation and operation of sound level meters and other noise equipment at job sites. • Worked closely with engineers and clients to acquire project data, which involved constant collaboration to ensure their desired outcomes are reached. Strong time management is vital as several projects are often occurring concurrently. This role allowed me to develop teamwork, organisation and communication skills. • Worked independently on various job sites, which requires initiative and ingenuity to implement creative solutions. Construction sites are a common location for data collection, which can differ greatly from what has been expected by the engineers. Anticipated locations or methods for data collection often must be altered, which requires strong problem-solving skills.

• Loader

  • Dec 2016 - Feb 2021

  PHOS-CHeK is a globally renowned company that specialises in fire suppression chemicals. Summer operations to support fire-fighting services across Australia take place predominantly out of Avalon Airport. The role of a loader involves mixing, testing, and loading fire retardant for use with Large Aerial Tankers (LATs). • Coordinated work typically in teams of two loaders and one supervisor. Communications between team members occurs via radio headsets due to LAT noise, with hand signals and gestures often being used to communicate with pilots, flight engineers and air base managers. This demonstrates both verbal and non-verbal communication skills across a diverse range of workplace positions. It also shows an ability to work efficiently in a team environment, even in high-risk situations. • Operated large and complex machinery, including batch mixers, transfer pumps, and numerous forklifts. All team members require a thorough understanding of all elements of the process, as often multiple different steps and actions would be occurring simultaneously. Being proactive and taking initiative to complete new tasks independently is strongly encouraged. This shows an ability to comfortably work in intricate technical environments, while also being able to identify and complete tasks of priority.
