What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a challenging, motivating, goal-oriented environment where I can apply my mechanical maintenance skills, solve problems collaboratively, deliver professional service, and continue developing my technical knowledge.

I'm currently maintaining milling plant equipment at National Milling Corporation Limited, including conveyors, elevators, hammer mills, pumps, gearboxes, motors, and lubrication systems.

I've supported reliable production through preventive maintenance, fault diagnosis, pump rebuilds, coupling alignment, bearing replacements, scale calibration, and equipment repairs. I document maintenance work in CMMS, complete job cards and spare-parts requisitions, and work closely with milling and laboratory teams to protect product quality and food safety.

My experience also includes mechanical maintenance at Varun Beverages Zambia, Chilanga Cement, Copperbelt Energy Corporation, and pump operation at Chibuluma Mine. I bring a practical, goal-oriented approach to troubleshooting, teamwork, safety compliance, and continuous plant improvement.
