I am a competent Electrical Engineer who prides himself in providing the best possible solution for any problem.
My experience include design, engineering and commissioning of electrical systems. In my 9 years of working at
my current employer I have obtained certain skillsets that makes me a total package which includes Electrical
Designing, Engineering and Draughting of my own designs.
Currently I am employed in the mining industry and have been the sole Electrical Engineer this company for the
past 9 years. I was responsible for all things electrical and even some which were not. I love a challenge and do
not shy away from things that are not in my comfort zone. A very diligent engineer but always aware of time and
money limitations on the project. Loyalty is an important part of my career and I feel strongly that my work
should speak for itself.
