What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level role in engineering or technical operations where I can apply problem-solving, data and project management skills within a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a motivated chemical engineering trainee with hands-on experience across community programmes, youth outreach, and private promotions. I bring attention to detail, strong communication, and teamwork developed through roles in Johannesburg, Randburg and Sandton.

My education includes N4–N5 in Chemical Engineering and a Matric from Phafogang Secondary School, and I have applied technical skills like technical writing, data management and project management in practical settings. I have also worked extensively with children and international camps, which strengthened my leadership, adaptability and client-focused approach.

I am reliable and solution-oriented, comfortable with computer literacy in specific programs and apps, and eager to contribute to teams that value problem solving, continuous learning and positive client outcomes.
