Shane
Personal Profile
My interest in engineering is reflected in my chosen Degree course in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering. The knowledge and experience I have gained throughout this four year course has given me a broad understanding of many aspects of engineering and has allowed me to develop the many skills which are needed to become a competent and reliable engineer. Post degree I worked for some time in an Environmental role for approximately one year before travelling to Australia to further my career. Since arriving in Australia I acquired a good job as a Site Engineer in a leading Mining & Civil company in which I learnt invaluable earthworks and construction experience. I have since worked in different areas of the construction and mining industries as listed in my experience below. I decided to take some time from my career and spend some time travelling, volunteering and learning Spanish in Latin America. I am focused, motivated and goal orientated with a clear vision of future objectives to ultimately have a successful and rewarding career within the Industry, I feel between my travels and work experience I have gained many qualities that would make me a prominent and worthwhile addition to any team.
