Arnold is one of Main Roads’ valued Civil Construction Apprentices based in Kununurra in the north Kimberley. Before starting with Main Roads in June 2023, Arnold was already in the midst of completing his Certificate III in Civil Construction but had struggled to get access to the required training for completion of his apprenticeship.

Main Roads was eager to support Arnold, who flew all the way from Kununurra to Perth to get the final units of his apprenticeship completed at Down to Earth Training and Assessing in Rockingham. During his time with Main Roads, Arnold has been very busy assisting the team and gaining knowledge and experience while impressing his fellow workers and managers with his willingness to learn.

Arnold has been instrumental in the close out works at Tickalara Creek and Frog Hollow Creek and has also assisted with supervision on the Ord North Reconstruction Project. Richard Brown-Fleming, Maintenance Manager in the Kimberley says, “Arnold has been a vital member of the team in the Kimberley and has been gaining lots of valuable experience on a number of projects”.
