About

I am a HND qualified mechanical maintenance technician and planner with experience of building, maintaining and fault diagnosis on PLC and PC controlled special purpose machinery as well as experience in SAP maintenance planning and managing material master data in a FMCG environment. I have an eye for detail and work well on my own as well as within a team where I am able to lead, supervise and motivate others. I am effective in working safely to defined rules and technical procedures but capable of improvisation and adaptation where required.
