Lauren Bradshaw

For the past 20 years I have worked in the production side of our family engineering business. As an Engineer's Assistant I have gained a variety of skills that require precise attention to details, and expertise. I have a lot of experience using a diverse range of power tools, power machines, welding equipment and have the ability as an Engineer's Assistant (but also as an artist) to work with wood, metal, ceramic and plastic materials. Our family business creates and manufactures highly specialised scientific equipment, specifically fusion machines used primarily in the laboratories of both domestic and international mining companies.

I have also worked on the agricultural side of our family property and business as a professional grounds maintenance specialist with solid experience in landscape design, plant care, as well as soil and irrigation management. In this role, I have gained a lot of experience and am skilled in the operation of backhoes, tractors and ride-on mowers to create and maintain a range of environments.
