Over to Dom…
I take great pride in contributing to the provision of the highest quality care, facilities, and environment for future generations. With over 13 years of experience as a carpenter and a diverse background in various construction roles, I have consistently been drawn to work that makes a positive impact on individuals and society. By applying my skills and expertise to early education centres, I am deeply committed to the belief that leading by example is crucial in fostering excellence for the next generation.
During my time working in the aged care maintenance sector amid the COVID-19 pandemic, I was committed to delivering the highest standard of maintenance services. I ensured that all maintenance issues were swiftly addressed, which contributed to residents feeling safe, secure, and well cared for in their homes. It was profoundly rewarding to support vulnerable communities during such a challenging period, particularly as these interactions often served as their only social engagement. Through this experience, I quickly realised that my role extended beyond repairing and maintaining, it was also about building meaningful social connections.
When I am not at work i enjoy getting out of the city with my family by camping, hiking and exploring new areas. I enjoy going for early morning walks with my Border Collie called Banjo. I love to learn new skills such as welding and working on my old 4×4.
I always find it great when working fixing anything and I hear a little voice behind me “what are you doing?”, “why?”, “why?”, “why?”. The little supervisors are always keeping you on your toes and ensuring that the works are up to standard. It makes me feel happy that the work I am doing has such a positive impact and allows the centres to operate to such a high standard.
