Profile Summary
I’m an experienced fabricator/welder with seven years of hands‑on work across engineering workshops, transport engineering, boat building, stainless/aluminium fabrication, and heavy‑industry maintenance. I’m reliable, hardworking, and committed to producing high‑quality work while meeting deadlines. I’m confident working independently or within a team and bring strong problem‑solving skills, practical knowledge, and a willingness to take on any challenge. I’m now seeking full‑time work in the engineering industry where I can continue to grow my skills and contribute effectively.
Experience
I’ve worked for multiple engineering companies across Hawke’s Bay. My experience covers fabrication and welding (aluminium, stainless, mild steel), boat building, machinery maintenance, truck and trailer repairs, flux‑core and submerged‑arc welding, and fabrication from CAD drawings. I’ve also worked on pre‑breaker machines for meat‑processing plants and completed fabrication work for factories and plants across New Zealand and overseas.
