GermanyWhat I'm looking for
My name is Gloria Cheruto Birir, and I am an engineer specializing in control and automation technology with a focus on PLC programming. I have a strong background in diagnosing and repairing electronic devices, particularly in the fiscal and security sectors. My experience includes working as an electronics technician at Joipack Technologies Ltd in Eldoret, Kenya, where I was responsible for the maintenance and configuration of PLC systems using SIMATIC STEP 7.
In addition to my technical skills, I have completed internships that provided me with hands-on experience in repairing three-phase motors and calibrating measurement and control systems.
