@scottreid
Experienced heavy‑plant operator and trades assistant specializing in rail and civil works.
I am an experienced heavy‑plant operator and trades assistant with a long history in rail, civil and mining projects across Australia. I have performed excavator, telehandler and forklift operations, re‑railing, sleeper replacement, HDPE geomembrane welding, and supported multiple trades on high‑risk, FIFO shutdowns and infrastructure programs.
I deliver safe, reliable results under strict schedules and complex site requirements, holding multiple site inductions and licenses (including RIW, ARTC Track Awareness, BHP induction and several plant tickets). I have led small crews, prepared JSA/SWMS, supervised staff and consistently supported world‑class quality standards on tier‑one projects.
