RESUME FOR

JACOBUS FREDRICK

BOTHA GRUNDLING

Site Manager Operations and Maintenance

PROFILE

I believe that you cannot sell your

experience to someone because it is

always easy to write down catching

words about yourself and your

experience, unfortunately that is not

me. I believe that you can only proof

yourself by doing wat is required of you

and giving a 110% and to always be

willing to walk the extra mile.

With that said I am a Result-driven

person with more than 20 years of

experience in the Mining Operations

and Maintenance industry, both hands-

on and in managerial positions.

I am passionate about my work, team

and family.

Safety, cleanliness and order are

always the number ones on my list. I

believe that a clean and orderly

workplace is a safe workplace. I never

take no for an answer and believe that

interacting as a team and colleagues

provides the best results when we are

facing challenges. I’m hands-on and

like to get my hands dirty in the field

with my team.

I am also a good team leader and

builder during my years in the field I

have managed large teams with great

success and commitment.

I truly believe that I will be a great asset

to any company that employs me. I am

committed and do not quit.
