Don had spent 34 years at Nyrstar Hobart, the last 20 of which as a trainer and assessor. It was natural that he would continue to utilise the skills gained in that long career when he joined OROR.
Don has never looked back and now trains in high risk licencing and machinery operations.
Don takes a “steady as she goes“ outlook to training and has a patient and thorough approach which puts trainees at ease.
Don often says of his job ”I like to think we are the best. I was properly trained and I always ensure that those people I deal with receive a thorough and comprehensive training.“
Outside of work Don spends time in his garden, is and hands on grandfather and a passionate Carlton supporter, and catching up with the locals at the Brighton hotel.
