Dear Hiring Team,

I am excited to apply for the role . I am motivated by opportunities that bring together people, systems, and continuous improvement, and I am eager to contribute and grow within a dynamic, values-driven organization.

I currently work as a Maintenance Technician at Tesla Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg, operating in a fast-paced, highly iterative environment. While my role is technical, it has strengthened a broad set of transferable skills including problem analysis, prioritization, cross-functional collaboration, and process improvement. I regularly identify recurring issues, assess their impact, and work with diverse stakeholders to implement sustainable solutions that improve reliability, efficiency, and overall user experience.

I am naturally growth-oriented and resilient, with experience navigating complex environments that require learning on the job, adapting quickly, and remaining solution-focused under pressure. I enjoy collaborating with diverse teams, communicating clearly across varying levels of technical understanding, and aligning multiple perspectives toward shared objectives.

Having worked internationally in both South Africa and Germany, I value multicultural collaboration and thrive in global environments. I am driven by curiosity, accountability, and a people-centered mindset, and I am excited about opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully while continuing to develop professionally.

Kind regards,

Deneo Zinhle Miya
