What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Production Engineer role where I can apply safety-first process monitoring, resource allocation, and predictive/preventative maintenance to improve throughput, reduce downtime, and support high-standard operations.

I’m a Production Engineer with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) background specializing in operational efficiency and business management. I bring a blend of technical problem-solving and logistics management to drive consistent, high-standard operations.

At Noc Jam Mine, I spearheaded process monitoring and continuous improvement to identify operational inefficiencies and optimize production throughput. Using data-driven engineering methodologies, I pinpointed bottlenecks across the mineral processing cycle while maintaining rigorous consistency and safety.

As a Production Engineering Intern at Delta Beverages, I oversaw high-volume production lines with zero-defect quality control and consistent output. I also conducted preventative maintenance to reduce downtime, managed spare parts and production consumables inventory, and supported plant operation monitoring using tools like CAD, PLC S7, SolidWorks, and control systems.
