Nazeer Bruce
@nazeerbruce
Experienced maintenance artisan specializing in mechanical and electrical fault finding.
What I'm looking for
I am a Maintenance Artisan/Production trades professional with a strong mechanical and electrical background, built through my Millwright (Electromechanician) training and trade testing. I pride myself on being extremely good in practical work, punctual, and able to cope under pressure while staying a friendly team player.
In my current and previous roles, I perform mechanical and electrical fault finding, preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, and breakdown attendance—while keeping uptime high through careful spares planning and service-schedule driven work. I also support compliance through ISO requirements, process safety responsibility, and SHE awareness, including work like test electrical circuits or components for proper functioning and carrying out mechanical and electrical repairs on pumps and other industrial equipment.
