Luke Ahrens

I am a highly motivated and innovative professional with a background in coordinating maintenance activities, predominantly in the Australian Defence Force, a fast paced, complex environment. I have high-level administration and operational skills and I am adept at building relationships with individuals and groups from a variety of educational and cultural backgrounds. I have been noted for my teamwork skills and ability to influence others to initiate change to practice. I find satisfaction in tasks or situations that require research and creative problem solving to find the most efficient, economically viable and safe solution.
