Summary

Highly experienced Road Maintenance Engineer with a strong track record in mining infrastructure, heavy haul road construction, and civil project management. Expertise in grading, resurfacing, drainage engineering, and WHS (Workplace Health & Safety) compliance within large-scale mining operations. Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, optimize road networks, and improve operational efficiency in remote and FIFO mining sites.

I have been selected by the Australian Government to apply for the Pacific Engagement Visa, which is a Permanent Residence visa to live and work in Australia. The PEV is not an employer-sponsored visa. More information can be found here: www.pev.gov.au. The Pacific Engagement Visa Employment Support Service can be contacted at employment@pevsupport.com.au. I am seeking opportunities in civil engineering, road maintenance, or entry-level mining or construction roles to contribute technical expertise and leadership to a dynamic team.
