Wow, what a great opportunity. I hope you find the right person for this position.

I feel like I would be a great fit, but I'm still waiting for my Dsc1 exam in August. I've also just applied for my firearms certificate.
I grew up on a farm in Poland, so I have some experience with farm machinery and animals. I have a telehandler's license and I can drive tractors and quads. I can work hard and I'm willing to learn new things. I'm also willing to relocate.

Unfortunately, I still need some time to get the right qualifications, so good luck finding the right person.
