About
Self motivated individual with a problem solving mindset which helps me tackle any problem in this trade. I am a qualified Diesel Mechanic with 2 years underground experience servicing and fault finding on Sandvik DD210 and DD211 drill rigs and bolters.
My core duties included: diagnosing and repairing faults on tramming, drilling, and rotation systems; hydraulic and electrical troubleshooting; securing booms; and completing full planned services to OEM specs. I focus on first-time fix and reducing MTBF to keep rig availability above target. I am safety compliant, experienced with isolation/lockout procedures, and used to working under pressure in a production environment and am medically fit for underground.
