BACKGROUND
I am James William van der Merwe, ID number 651**********. I am a qualified petrol and diesel professional who takes pride in his work as a foreman and mechanic. I am a firm believer in being reliable and working as a unit to ensure any given task or challenge is done with perfection and efficiency within the time constraints available.
I completed my apprenticeship as mechanic on 4 February 1989 and have gained a great amount of experience in petrol and diesel repairs and maintenance on heavy machinery and trucks, as well as light motor vehicles and tractors, over a period of more than thirty years since I started my apprenticeship in January 1984.
I have proven that I possess excellent diagnostic skills to establish what the source of the problem is and to get the vehicle or equipment back in service – often in minutes. EXPERIENCE
