A career in HD maintenance is what I wanted to do originally, but it was too hard for me to get into at the time when I was looking for an apprenticeship.

At Komatsu we’re not really doing anything the same.

The learning side of things, when it came to doing TAFE work was a little bit harder than I expected, but we got through that. Much of a muchness when it comes to here – at the end of the day, it’s all nuts and bolts, it’s just a lot bigger. Right now, I’m building brand new machines.

Everything’s different to each truck, even the same job is different. There’s not really much repetitiveness which is good. It’s a little daunting sometimes working with the larger equipment.

In mechanics, in LV, you drop something on your foot it’s going to hurt. If you drop something on your foot here, it’s going to take it off.

Everything comes with its own task, because these ones are “brand new”, there’s a lot of little bumps we might run into that we have to figure out on the go.

What’s it really like? Real stories, real people
