Emmanuel Ndlovu

I am a qualified Mechanic and Trade Tested Welder with a background in motor mechanics, welding, boiler making and mechanical maintenance, supported by certifications in Welding (Trade Test), Boiler Making (NQF Level 03) and HSEQ Representation (SAQA US:9964). I bring practical knowledge in diesel mechanics, heavy-duty vehicles, trailer manufacturing, fabrication, air and electrical systems on trailers, and welding processes including TIG, ARC, MIG and gas welding on mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium. I am reliable, safety-conscious and committed to quality workmanship, with strong communication, numerical reasoning and decision-making skills.

I work well under pressure, meet deadlines, supervise teams effectively and maintain high standards whether working independently or in a team environment.
