Congratulations to Steve McHaffie from Thompson Engineering 2002 Ltd, who was crowned Canterbury Westland’s supreme digger operator at the CCNZ CablePrice Canterbury Westland Excavator Operator Competition on Saturday.
Held at Road Metals Quarry in Rolleston, the competition challenged operators with a range of tests that showcased skill, precision and safety, from excavator golf and egg placement to truck loading and technical assessments.
Steve will represent Canterbury Westland at the CCNZ National Excavator Operator Competition finals in Feilding next March.
Well done to all competitors who showcased the talent, professionalism and expertise that keep our industry moving.
