“I completed a lot of work for Alumarine on a call out basis, they built the hulls, and we wired and installed the engines and lighting,” said Matthew. Completing the work of the fireboats for Sydney Harbour. His ability to troubleshoot under pressure and his meticulous attention to detail were crucial in ensuring these essential vessels remained operational.
