Background

About Amy Young

I am currently a health and safety administrator for TDM Construction Ltd. My job so far has been an awesome learning experience for me as I begin to understand the world of civil infrastructure. Most recently I worked for Gleeson Quarries for 4 and a half years (I joined the quarry team in 2018 whilst under Stevenson management) and started out as a heavy machinery operator and then became the HSE rep which then lead to me to pursue an interest in health and safety in the workplace. I have been a heavy machinery operator for the last 7 years, with some time spent underground working for Workpac as a dump truck operator in Mount Isa, Australia as well as working for C&R in the open cut mine in Waihi. My passion for large machines came from my background in dairy farming operating tractors. I grew up on a dairy farm where my first job involved milking cows and other general farm duties (fencing, rearing calves, fixing water pipes etc) Throughout my teenage years and young adulthood, I have worked in many various roles including retail, childcare, mine site cleaning and butchery.
