What I'm looking for
I am an experienced diesel mechanic with over seven years working on heavy-duty trucks, earthmoving and construction equipment, skilled in engine overhauls, hydraulic systems, electrical troubleshooting and precision machining. I deliver repairs and preventive maintenance under pressure, minimize downtime, and maintain a strong safety record while collaborating with teams.
My background includes rebuilding CAT and Liebherr engines, servicing articulated and rigid dump trucks, operating industrial lathes and machining equipment, and managing fleet maintenance and logistics with fuel control and reporting in Excel. I am fluent in English and Portuguese and bring practical field experience across drilling, mining and plant-hire environments.
