  Solar Technology systems

  Jan 2006 - Jul 2007

  Frame builder and assistant installer

  I worked all around Nelson New Zealand, assisting my boss in the installation of solar hot water heating systems on residential homes.I would also build the frames to the desired degree to suit the roof it was going on to.All this was done from a start up franchise business run out of my bosses garage.This was an absolutely awesome job but due to being at the start up stages, the wages were just to low to live off.

  Bosun

  Started from never having stepped on a fishing vessel in my life to spending the last 5 years on the vessel in a senior management position. Life on board consists of shifts of 6hrs on- 6hrs off on a continuous cycle for periods of up to 9weeks at a time, normal trip lengths would vary between 5-7weeks out at sea depending on the season.I worked as a factory hand for a year then a deckhand for 3years, then bosun and relief second mate for 5years on board a 66m deep sea fishing trawler called the Rehua. Fishing mainly around the west & east coast of the South island of NZ as will as south of Stewart island, and the odd couple of months fishing around the coast of Tasmania.I knew this entire boat from inside and out and inspected damn near everything there was to inspect on it.I ran various safety drills, and training while onboard.This was literally the beginning of my passion for a career in health and safety.
