I work at NexTimber Tarpeena where we produce CLT (cross laminated timber panels) & GLT (glue laminated timber beams)
I grew up in the South East and my family has been involved in the timber industry in one way or another for the last 55 years. Finding myself looking for a new career path, I was naturally drawn to Timberlink – just down the road.
Starting as a production operator, I learnt about the new machinery with the team as the factory was being built, this was very exciting to be a part of and gave me a great foundation to progress my career and led me to the Team Leader position.
Helping and coordinating the daily production team (which was well out of my comfort zone) turned out to be something I enjoyed which then led me into the role of Production Supervisor. Being a part of the NexTimber team has its challenges as new hurdles arise, but is also very rewarding when you see the progress we are making!
