@sinaninkhata
Experienced heavy duty machine operator skilled in forklift and dump truck operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated heavy duty machine operator with hands-on experience operating forklifts and articulated dump trucks, and with a background in sampling and mineral inspection. I bring a disciplined work ethic, adaptability, and a track record of following safety protocols while loading, unloading, and maintaining equipment.
Previously I worked as a sampler and mineral inspector collecting and documenting samples for laboratory analysis, collaborating with geologists and contributing findings to mineral quality assessments. I also have retail experience assisting customers, processing transactions, and resolving inquiries with a positive attitude.
I step into acting supervisory responsibilities when required, guiding team members, fostering a productive environment, and supporting conflict resolution. I am eager to join a company that values safety, growth, and the opportunity to expand my technical skills.
