About
I am a safety-focused crane and heavy equipment operator with more than 7 years of hands-on experience in mining, construction, and industrial projects. I excel in operating high-capacity mobile and crawler cranes (up to 160T), earthmoving gear, and heavy transport equipment, always prioritizing lift integrity and HSE compliance.
I bring strong teamwork, toolbox talks, and mentoring to crews, along with meticulous pre-operation checks, load chart analysis, and proactive maintenance that reduces downtime.
