Tom's Story
Built On Real Hands-On Experience
Tom's career started out in the agricultural and road transport industry before he moved into the mining sector, working as a field mechanic. From there, he stepped up to leading hands, managing a crew, handling breakdowns, running routine maintenance, and sharpening his time management along the way.
Along the way he worked on everything from graders right up to 800 ton excavators, drills and draglines, across major brands including Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, Liebherr, SKSS, Terex and P&H.
In 2018, Tom started his own business as a mobile mechanic servicing North East Victoria. In 2024, that grew into a full workshop at 3 Murrell St, Wangaratta, where the same hands-on approach still applies to every job.
