Didintle Morobane
@didintlemorobane
I design, build, and communicate mechanical engineering projects from concept to production.
What I'm looking for
I've supported Sasol Mining site inspections, As-Built drawing verification, SCADA documentation, P&ID revisions, and Root Cause Analysis. At TuksBaja, I developed mechanical designs, production drawings, simulations, Bills of Materials, and CNC-machined components for an SAE Baja racing team.
As TuksBaja's Marketing Head, I secured R800,000 in corporate sponsorships and engineering partnerships through technical proposals, pitch decks, and stakeholder communication. I also teach first-year engineering students practical workshop skills, including soldering, electrical wiring, material science, mechanical tools, and precision assembly.
