About Robbie

What I've done

Look out Hervey Bay, I'm here!!

I've operated excavators, dozers, front end loaders, motorscrappers, and large dump trucks throughout Australia, New Zealand and the USA. I've worked on operations from mountain roading and highway construction through to multi-storey building demolition in Sydney, and gold mining in WA.

I've driven heavy floats transporting excavators, dozers, and loaders within NSW, Queensland, Victoria, WA and New Zealand.

In the '80s I settled in Australia where I was deep trenching storm water and sewer with large excavators.

I was goldmining in the early '90s, as a large dozer and excavator instructor.

I then worked for a range of demolition and excavation companies.

I bought my 5.5 tonne excavator and a 550 hp boggie tipper, starting up Robbie Digger Excavations because I was getting up at 5am for the other guy... I decided to do it for myself and my family. This way, it's just me managing and operating my own equipment. I can be sure every piece of my gear is in A1 working condition at all times.

I have operated excavators from 1.7 tonne to 400 tonne in many different operations. I hold many difference licenses and tickets; including Truck and Dog and Sydney Rail.

In 2019 I finished a job with Lendlease, working at Harbour Street in Darling Square, digging around government infrastructure. I then had a job with Christie's Civil, working on the Randwick Children's Hospital.

2020 and 2021 were busy years with Total Power Corp; Full Tilt Constructions; and Genesis plumbers, doing groundwork for factories in Strathfield South, and in Box Hill with Christie Civil.

2022 got off to a great start, with a bridge build for Christie Civil at Box Hill, working on the waterfront in Monterey.

2023 and 2024 saw me working on various civil sites around Sydney, working on sewerage, water, fiberoptic pits and retaining walls.

The first half of 2025 was wet - but the second half of 2025 is fantastic! I couldn't wait so I've made the move early to Hervey Bay.

I'm loving life on the Fraser Coast!
