What I'm looking for

I seek practical roles in maintenance, operations, or logistics where I can apply mechanical skills, support site and farm operations, and grow into supervisory responsibilities.

I am a hands-on mechanical and operations professional with practical experience across construction, automotive workshops, manufacturing warehouses, and agricultural farms. I blend technical training in mechanical engineering with on-the-ground experience in logistics and maintenance.

At Kem Associates I supported plumbing and sanitation works, prepared BOQs, assisted with site inspections, and helped ensure projects met manufacturer and client specifications. In automotive attachments I learned engine overhaul, routine maintenance, troubleshooting, and parts identification.

In manufacturing and warehouse roles I performed cargo loading/unloading, stockpiling, stock control, and operated heavy lifting equipment while following safety and hygienic procedures. On the Marmanet farm I managed fodder cutting and preservation, waste handling, and routine farm labor coordination.

I hold technical certificates in computer applications and a formal background in mechanical engineering and economics & statistics, and I bring a positive, practical approach to operations, maintenance, and project support.
