Education

- Strong work ethic
- Automotive diagnostics/repair
- Attention to detail
- Failure analysis
- Problem-solving
Accomplishments
During my time working at Oceana Gold, I was able to consistently keep my fleet availability over the target of 88% with a meantime between failure of 120 hours with a tartget of 80 hours. What this means is that when my equipment left from scheduled maintenance, it was able to go for more than 250 hours of a 500 hour period without failure. This is due to my continuous focus and emphasis on preventative maintenance and addressing issues during scheduled service rather than reactive repairs.
