What I'm looking for

I am seeking a hands-on role in manufacturing or maintenance where I can apply welding and machining skills, work within a safety-focused team, and grow technically.

I am a mechanically focused professional with hands-on experience operating machine tools and welding equipment, and with formal training in mechanical engineering and NCTVET certifications. I combine practical shop experience with technical knowledge gained in high school and vocational certifications.

During a two-week job experience I operated drill-press and lathe machines and used oxyacetylene and ARC welding equipment, and I spent four years working as a process operator at a manufacturing company. I take pride in safe, reliable machine operation and practical problem solving on the shop floor.

I bring strong interpersonal and communication skills, the ability to multi-task, work well under pressure, and collaborate effectively with teammates. My documented qualifications include NCTVET Welding Level 1 and Data Operation Level 1 with merit, and multiple CXC/CAPE subject passes relevant to technical work.

I am hardworking, dependable, and eager to contribute to a dynamic organization where I can apply my mechanical skills, expand my technical experience, and support operational excellence.
