Description

I have been working as a refrigeration and air con mechanic for the last 6 years, and have decided to leave Australia to experience the world. I am very hard working and am always willing to learn new skills and work out of my comfort zone. I am adventurous and am keen to travel all over the world to meet new people, see some amazing locations and learn from other cultures.

Heath: I have been working full time since leaving school in various different trades and have always wanted to travel and see the world. I have always been outgoing and a lover of nature. I am ready for a big change in life and indulging myself into a new culture and environment while meeting new and interesting people. Strong passion to learn.

More details about your skills

TOM (Workaway worker 1): I have completed high school at Trinity College in Perth Western Australia. I then went on to become an air conditioning and refrigeration mechanic, where I've worked in multiple places and on many different types of systems such as Australian navy boats, city high rise systems and basic domestic split/ducted air con units. I have also been expanding my knowledge in other areas that are unrelated to refrigeration/air con to be a more well rounded person this includes farrier work (cleaning and replacing of horses hooves and shoes) and bar work which I have recently been doing since I left my trade and have been loving it. I also an extensive knowledge of the outdoors from weekends away camping, four wheel driving and boating.

Heath (Workaway worker 2): I have completed year 12 high school at Aquinas college in Perth, Western Australia and grew up on a horse property. Upon completion of high school I spent 5 years completing my Farrier/blacksmith apprenticeship working all up and down the coast, interacting and working with all different kind of horse owners. I eventually wanted to expand my skills and began a new apprenticeship in metal fabrication and spent 2 and a half years working in 2 different fab shops. One was bending and welding up aluminium canopies for four wheel drives, and the second was building and installing stainless steel kitchen benchtops and bars. Skills included welding, general fab experience, going to site and fitting up our product solving various problems on the way. In my own time I've developed a passion for fishing, camping and helping my dad with property maintenance; fencing, mowing, cutting trees, tending to animals.
