Message

At Tigerbrands, I worked as a Maintenance Planner, administering the DMS work-order lifecycle and analyzing equipment downtime to identify recurring failures and permanent engineering solutions.

I developed five-year asset lifecycle maintenance strategies and planned routine and annual plant outages, including shutdown schedules and post-shutdown contractor handovers.

At RandWater, I planned maintenance for utility facilities and pumping infrastructure. I managed and prioritized maintenance backlogs, tracked project milestones, and coordinated Root Cause Analysis and Reliability Centred Maintenance cycles.

Earlier, as a Production Fitter at KoornfonteinMine, I diagnosed and repaired production machinery and underground mining equipment. I also hold a Safety Management B-tech and a SAMTRAC Certificate.
