Summary
My family and I bought the Marama post office nearly 3 years ago and have been working at kinmana organics, we have recently decided we would like a second income. My reason for applying for this position is the desire to have stable local employment, I have operated various large machinery and willing to obtain any tickets required, machine operation is something I have always had a good grasp of and pick up easily, I also have experience in maintenance and physically demanding jobs. I have good critical thinking skills and able to think on my feet and problem solve.
