Kobus Nieuwoudt

I am a 44-year-old man that would like an opportunity to prove myself to my employer that I can do anything that is given to me, I can work good in a team environment, or by myself. I do have the ability to work under pressure. My ability to communicate effectively with other team member/colleges is in my opinion a strong point.
