KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Graduate Mechanical Engineer registered with the Engineers Board of Kenya (BK23371) with three years' hands-on experience in manufacturing environments focusing on preventive and corrective maintenance, condition monitoring, and plant reliability improvements.
At Tata Chemicals Magadi I implemented mobile inspection systems and condition-monitoring reporting that raised plant availability and overall equipment efficiency, redesigned pumping systems to VFD for improved performance, and led safety and KAIZEN initiatives while supervising technicians on the shop floor.
I bring technical skills in hydraulic and pneumatic design, AutoCAD, SAP, vibration analysis, fan balancing and laser alignment, and lean manufacturing; I am results-oriented, self-motivated and committed to driving energy-efficient, cost-reducing maintenance strategies.
