Safety-focused electrician with expertise in high-voltage systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a safety-focused and results-driven electrician with over three years of industrial and commercial experience in electrical installations, maintenance, and troubleshooting. My expertise lies in high-voltage systems, motor control, and substation management, where I have consistently ensured compliance with safety regulations while optimizing operational efficiency.
Currently, I work at Pure Oil (Zimgold) in Harare, where I have successfully diagnosed and repaired complex electrical faults, reducing downtime by 15% and saving the company $100,000 in potential losses. My previous role at Green Fuel (Pvt) Ltd allowed me to lead substation construction and collaborate with ZESA to synchronize a 22.8MW Turbo Alternator, showcasing my ability to manage significant projects and mentor junior electricians.
With a National Certificate in Electrical Power Engineering and various certifications, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to innovative electrical projects that prioritize safety and efficiency.
