Instructor

Owner Justin Kavanagh

A devoted family man and mining enthusiast, I started my operational mining career in 2005. Still to this day I am amazed by the size of the equipment and enjoy operating them when I can get away from projects and business. My passion is to help both people within the industry and from outside. I myself was once that person looking for an opportunity to operate machinery within the mining industry. I believe the industry needs more respect and encourage people to behave and operate in a respectful manner regardless of what skills or position you hold within the industry. We all need to start somewhere
