Evan Mitchell Krishnan

I am a 30-year-old male, currently unemployed, my last position was at Garden City Commercials - Pietermaritzburg as a Technician, specialising in Mercedes, Freightliner, FUSO, Western Star and Mitsubishi. I have been trained in the maintenance and repairs of diesel engines and obtained my qualification in 2019 after a 4-year apprenticeship at Garden City. I work well under pressure and am a result-driven person.

I never shy away from hard work or a challenge. My dedication and commitment to my job comes from my passion for what I do. I am now on the market looking for new endeavours in order to broaden my spectrum of knowledge and at the same time looking for a company that will value me as a member of their compliment.

In return I offer my 100% commitment to any task set before me and will maintain and uplift the standard of the company.
