10 Reasons to be with A Mechanic

How does a mechanic turn out to be a Fractional Operations Manager? Yes, you read that right a mechanic. My first job out of high school was as a mechanic. I was the only female mechanic in my year at TAFE, I had to work twice as hard as the gents. But I was also one of the luckiest. Lucky because It took me 50 interviews and rejections before I found a great boss willing to give a girl a go. While the others knocked me back because of it. This gave me insane resilience. What did I learn? I learnt to ask a lot of questions and why was this important? Because working on cars you need to be great at asking questions to find the issue people are having with their cars to diagnose the fault. The car making some noise wasn’t enough to distinguish where to look. You needed specifics where when how long, hot cold etc This was one thing I excelled at diagnostics. Problem-solving and putting puzzles together was my favourite part of being a mechanic. This is where I started to develop my skills of asking the right questions. It's why I ask so many today. Each question shows me another puzzle piece. This career led me into different industries and I often became the fixer wherever I went. The original plan was to use my trade to join the fire brigade. It didn’t quite pan out that way Instead, I became a corporate firefighter. When shit broke or was on fire I was one of the ones to run towards it and fix it. So now as a Fractional Operations Manager I hold the hose and put out those fires, find where they started, ask the right questions and fix the issue that caused it in the first place. This is why Businesses work with me. I don’t just put out the spot fires for the owner, I fix the cause. Then keep it all running smoothly while helping you grow.

I have always been fascinated by the world of offshore work and wondered how people got into it. After a chance meeting with someone, I realized that there were many job opportunities available. Intrigued, I decided to become an offshore mechanic, a role I pursued for six years. During that time, my interest in remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) grew, but unfortunately, finances became an obstacle when it came to enrolling in a course to learn more about them. Determined to pursue my passion, I made the decision to travel to Australia and work as a fruit picker to save up for the course. Finally, in December 2023, I successfully completed the journey I had set out on. Despite my accomplishments, I faced difficulty in finding employment in the ROV industry. Countless CVs were sent, but there was little to no response from companies and agencies. Eventually, I was given a chance by ROVOP and Archer Offshore for job in sarawak water, XLX Triton. But I continued to face rejection due to the clients' preference for candidates with extensive flying experience of 150+ hours. Naturally, this was disheartening and frustrating. Now, I have a question for professionals who are experienced in the world of ROVs: how can beginners accumulate flying hours? Additionally, is there any advice on how to navigate the challenging application process in order to gain experience and flying hours more easily? Now, I have returned to my previous role as an offshore mechanic with a low wage. no chance anymore in rov job. But i want to wish good luck to all beginners out there. If the path becomes too difficult, remember that there are countless individuals who have experienced similar struggles in the world of ROVs. Let's strive for peace and unity. Cheers
