Fitter and Turner
About
I am a highly motivated hard worker who holds a Fitter and Turner Red Seal Trade Test, and N3 in Mechanical Engineering. I'm also holding other certificates namely Hydraulic and Pneumatics to boost my knowledge. I started my career as an apprentice Fitter and Turner at Senior where I received my training.
It has been a fruitful journey, as I am currently employed by Novus Print as a Printers Mechanic. My duties involve diagnose and repair faults, strip, repair mechanical plant machinery, read technical drawings, Understand production target. I am a hands-on person who possesses problem solving skills and the flexibility to work independently and as a team.
I have gained so much knowledge and still have a lot to learn and explore in the engineering environment, thus making me acceptable to challenges in a more or similar environment. I believe this will enhance my technical ability to become a well-established Artisan.
