LOTUS RIVER
To whom it may concern
As a previous Store man/ Artisan assistant within the engineering field, I have acquired various skills but no matter what I do, I always apply myself and give every task at hand my very best efforts. Being hard working, hands on, honest, reliable, customer orientated, goal driven, displaying perseverance and adapting easily in any situation are some of my strong points.
Working at Afrox in the customer engineering department taught me a lot on the equipment and processes of working in a gas plant setup. I have gained knowledge on valves, assemblies and l.p.g. installations.
I am teaching my children to never settle for less and that they can achieve their goals by not giving up and allowing circumstances to dictate to them what their future will be, we determine our own future.
To God be the Glory! I have achieved my long term goal of becoming a trade tested Boilermaker on 23 September 2017 and therefore I know that I will be a great asset to any company that employs me.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards
Richard Stewart
