IT IS WITH GREAT ENTHUTHIASM TO HAVE THIS PLATFORM TO INTRODUCE MY INTEREST AND LOVE FOR THE ENGINEERING INDUSTRY AND THE PLEASURE I'VE HAD TO HAVE CHOSEN THIS FIELD.I AM A HARDWORKING, SELF DRIVEN, EAGER TO LEARN AND EXPLORE AS FAR AS POSSIBLE THIS FIELD OF ENGINEERING TO GAIN FAR DEEP EXPERIENCE I POSSIBLY CAN. MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING REASSURES MYSELF THAT I CAN EXPAND MORE IN ANY OTHER SECTIONS IN THIS FIELD.

I QUALIFIED AS AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC AT SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS IN 2001 JUNE. I WORKED IN ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT FUEL AND OIL AIRCRAFTS COMPONENTS WORKSHOP FOR SEVEN YEARS. HERE I HAD TO DOUBLE CHECK COMPONENTS IN RECEIVING AREA FOR CORRECT LABELLING AND MAKE SURE OF THE WORKSHOP CAPABILITY STATUS REGARDING THE COMPONENT AND AVAILABILITY OF LATEST REVISION RELEVANT WORKSHOP MANUALS TO CARRY OUT REPAIRS AND OR COMPLETE OVERHAUL AND BENCH TESTING BEFORE RELEASE BACK INTO SERVICE.

I LATER ON MOVED INTO THE AIRCRAFT HANGARS ACCOMPLISHING MINOR AND MAJOR MAINTENANCE ON BOTH NARROW BODY AND WIDE BODY AIRCRAFTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RELEVANT APPROVED AIRCRAFT MANUALS WITH A GREAT TEAM OF TECHNICIANS IN THE FIELD.

OBSERVING AND ASSURING GOOD PRACTICE OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES WITHOUT COMPROMISE.

I PREVIOUSLY GAINED A SHORT EXPERIENCE ON WORKING ON BUSES MECHANICAL WORKSHOP AS A DIESEL MECHANIC FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE MONTHS.

IT IS A GREAT FIELD OF WORK AND PERFECT TO SHOWCASE ONE'S CAPABILITIES AND SKILLS AND BUILDING A GREAT TEAM TO EXCELL WELL IN YOUR FIELD OF EXPERTISE. I AM CAPABLE AND READY AND WILLING TO LEARN.
