Profile Summary
I’m a detail‑oriented automotive stripper/fitter with strong skills in metal fabrication, welding, vehicle preparation, and preventive maintenance. I take pride in producing high‑quality workmanship, maintaining safe work practices, and communicating clearly with clients and team members. I’m mechanically minded, reliable, and confident working with tools, machinery, and fabrication processes.
Experience
I currently work at a Panel & Paint business, where I carry out panel fitting, metal fabrication, MIG/TIG/Oxy welding, surface preparation, vehicle inspections, and component assembly. I maintain tools and equipment, complete preventive maintenance tasks, and document repair details accurately. My background also includes professional house painting, plastering, and pool/spa construction, giving me additional experience in carpentry, waterproofing, landscaping, blueprint interpretation, and equipment operation. In my teen years, I also did some temp work at a boat building business in Whangarei which is where my interest in engineering began.
