Bringing experience across automotive services, commercial fleet maintenance, and building coatings, the career history includes tyre fitting and repair, fleet tyre management, and painting and decorating roles in service, industrial, and construction-related environments. Recent work with Bridgestone in Kewdale involved managing tyre services for the City of Wanneroo fleet, including fitting and repairing tyres on trucks, earthmovers, tractors, skid steers, light trucks, and other plant and vehicles, while supporting regular servicing requirements. Responsibilities also included pressure inspections, monthly tread-depth reporting, roadside breakdown assistance, liaison with workshop and departmental managers, and weekly stock ordering with monthly stocktakes to maintain operational readiness. Earlier tyre fitting experience with Goodyear covered tyre installation for cars, vans, trucks, and 4WDs, puncture repairs, front-counter customer service, and handling telephone enquiries in a fast-paced workshop setting. Additional trade-based experience in painting and decorating included surface preparation using hand and power tools, coating application on new and existing buildings and pools, waterproofing with bitumen-based sealants for pools and dams, wallpaper hanging, scaffold setup, and roof spraying with airless equipment. Core strengths include hands-on mechanical aptitude, fleet support, tyre diagnostics and maintenance, inventory control, safety-focused field service, customer communication, and the ability to work across both workshop and on-site environments.
