Interview Team – David
Technical Interviewer and Technical Trainer for Skilled Migration Group
My name is David and I am a qualified Heavy Equipment Repair Technician. I am employed as a Technical Interviewer and Technical Trainer for Skilled Migration Group, now embarking on a new chapter of my career and am looking forward to making new connections and assisting others along the way.
For two years, while continuing to work underground as a heavy equipment repair technician. I underwent technical training from Jason Dellaca and Dennis, to OME standards, and gained an understanding of, and competency with, process driven and procedure driven OEM methodologies.
Heavy Equipment Repair Technician
My experience has been varied so far, working my way up from a wide eyed lad walking around a workshop, and wondering what would it be like to be able to fix these machines. To working on large surface mining equipment and working underground on drills and loaders.
Heavy equipment repair is complex, technology is changing all the time. Every day we wake up, technology moves so fast that we effectively know less today than we did yesterday.
It is no longer enough to just train for a few years and then work as a technician from then on. I believe we need to be continually learning and seeking out these new technologies so that we keep pace, not fall behind.
Chatting with other technicians is a great way to fill in gaps in knowledge, I listen, I hear, I learn.
Giving Back
Life is not just about how we obtain money or how much we can get. And I feel very strongly that if we are able to, we should give back to our communities, helping people with a hand up where we can.
Spending periods of time with Skilled Migration Group, I came to realise that they have a similar outlook on life. It’s not about the money, earn enough for what you need, do good with the rest.
