Humans of Bis | Liam Cassano

Liam Cassano's career journey with Bis has come full circle. He began by completing his Plant Mechanic apprenticeship on Bis machines before moving on to broaden his experience. In 2024, he returned to Bis, inspired by the opportunity to further develop his skills and pursue a second trade as an Electrician.

Now based at Tomago, Liam splits his time between site and offsite training blocks with Major Training. He describes it as the best of both worlds as it allows him to gain hands-on experience in the workshop, combined with formal learning.

Driven by pride in his work, Liam finds real satisfaction in seeing the results of a job well done and a willingness to learn. Like many apprentices, one of his biggest challenges is taking on and retaining so much new information at once, but his approach is practical and disciplined. He listens carefully, asks questions, and takes notes for future reference.

Liam has plenty to be proud of outside of work too. A homeowner, husband, dad to a young son, and a big supporter of his sister who is studying to become a veterinarian, family is central to everything he does. It’s also what keeps him motivated each day. Working for a business that values safety, Liam is grateful in the knowledge that he’ll head home to his family at the end of every day.

Away from the tools, Liam enjoys staying active with CrossFit at The Deck in Raymond Terrace, playing golf, or working on projects around the house. He recently completed a Certificate IV in Project Management, and in another universe, he imagines he might have pursued a university pathway.

When it comes to role models, Liam looks up to Darrell Wilson, Bis’ Underground Field Service Representative. Known as “The Diesel Whisperer” for his expertise and approachable nature, Darrell has made a lasting impression on Liam with his strong work ethic and willingness to share his knowledge.

To Liam, success means being happy within yourself and providing for your family. And the best piece of advice he’s ever received came from his dad: “You can never put a price on education.”
