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.
