Profile bio

About Ben Patton

I am a qualified Leading Hand Rigger/Dogman and Crane Operator with extensive mining and construction experience. First and foremost I am a Safety Advocate onsite; I encourage my crew to work with a Safety-First mentality so that everyone who arrived onsite in the morning can return home safely that night. I hold all required tickets & licences including a HR Licence, C2 Crane Licence, Dogging Ticket, Riggers Ticket, Working Safely at Heights Card, and an EWP Licence (11m+). Who am I out of work?I am a family man with family values, and I am an avid fisherman who grew up in a small coastal town on the South Coast of New South Wales. For fun we surfed, rode bikes and kept busy with ocean activities and this love has translated over to my adult life, and more than anything I am keen to pass this love of the ocean onto the next generation. We go out on our boat as a family as much as possible, and our favourite spot is Jarvis Bay, which I consider a marvellous piece of coastline.I volunteer for an organisation called OzFish, which is an Australia-wide group recreating fish homes and snags for our native fish (if we don't do something to help protect the native fish of Australia we will lose them)

Listed skills include Leading Positive Change, Cranes, Rigger, Construction, and 4 others.
