I am a qualified Auto Electrician and I am currently working with Global Bus Ventures based in Rolleston Christchurch working as a heavy duty automotive electrician for a bus building company. Duties include general auto electrical work, loom making, cable running, diagnostics and warranty repairs. On leaving secondary school in 1998, I attended Cumbernauld College and studied a National Certificate level 2 and level 3 in Automotive Engineering.

As part of my apprenticeship I went to college on a day release and studied for my City and Guilds in Motor Vehicle Maintenance and Electronics. In September 2004 I completed my apprenticeship and qualified as an Auto Electrician. I carried on with the company for a further 4 years as Lead Auto Electrician. As well as working for CUBIC, I have ran my own auto electrical company from my garage at home part time; I’ve been running my garage for 4 years now. Working on all makes and models of car.
