“This will not only benefit me, but will also benefit the industry in Tasmania.”

Justin views this as “an advantage as they might have more efficient ways of doing things as well as different safety measures in place for particular jobs.”
“Working as safe as possible and planning out the task ahead is a big part of my job here in Tasmania. I believe that working at these businesses will improve my personal safety standards.”
During Justin’s time in the UK he plans to undergo work experience at the following places; Caterpillar marine power UK Ltd, Industrial power systems (Perkins Engines), Articulated trucks, Caterpillar (UK) Ltd, Caterpillar remanufacturing services & Cummins UK, West London.
The BBM Youth team are excited to see where Justin’s passion take him alongside what knowledge he brings back to Tasmania.
