What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Mechanical Engineering role where I can reduce downtime, apply preventive/corrective maintenance, and grow through challenging work—especially in energy efficiency, audits, and practical problem-solving that improves daily operations.

I’m a Mechanical Engineering graduate and Maintenance Technician who helps keep production running with “less to no downtime of machines.” I bring “innovative, analytical and problem-solving abilities” to troubleshoot mechanical and electrical issues and restore equipment quickly.

In my current role, I supervise operations of tea processing, carry out quality checks, and implement “food safety management systems in accordance with ISO 22000:2018.” I also handle steam line leakages, conveyor alignment and repair, and replacement of worn bearings to protect throughput and product quality.

I’ve also built strong energy-efficiency capability through training in energy audits, including “lighting audits,” HVAC systems audits, and measurement/verification. I apply OSH techniques, support safety procedures (including HAACP), and use continuous improvement principles like “5S and kaizen.”
