ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Field Service and Maintenance Technician with extensive experience installing, maintaining, and optimizing medical, laboratory, and industrial equipment. I combine technical diagnostics with practical problem-solving to minimize downtime and improve performance.

I seek roles where I can apply hands-on technical expertise, lead teams, and contribute to high-quality healthcare and laboratory operations.
