Objective My main objective is to find a job where I can utilize the skill and experience that I have gained through my working career and life. I have added experience to my initial qualifications by moving out of my comfort zone.
I started my own business doing all kinds of Steel Works in 20... in Kimberley. I got divorced in 2016 decided to relocate to Gauteng. This was because my business was feeling the constraints of the economy. I decided to move closer to my family and also because I believe that there would be better opportunities in Gauteng.
I currently live in Midrand, which is ideally located to work in either Pretoria, Johannesburg, Jhb or even Kempton Park .
Skills & Abilities I started my working career in 1984 at the Dept of Correctional Services. From Dept of Correctional Services I moved onto working for the SA Reserve Bank.
I also worked for Coin Security and The SA Mint as a Mobile Teller. This entailed driving to various locations to reconcile, balance and collect cash. During this time I was one of a handful people that was accredited to enter the main safe at the SA Reserve Bank.
I then changed direction in my career and joined M & K Autobody . I was enrolled as an apprentice with the College in Kimberley in 1996. I received various awards at the institution whilst studying there and passed my final exam with a mark of 98 %.
I then relocated to Kimberley where I worked for Northern Cape Panelbeaters and Roderics Panelbeaters before starting my own business in 2009. I erected steel structures, gates, fencing, bridges etc. Anything that can be made from Steel was made by my company.
