Profile Summary
I’m a mechanical engineering diploma graduate with hands‑on experience across welding, fabrication, production, and workshop environments. I enjoy practical problem‑solving, working with tools, and understanding how mechanical systems fit together. I’m reliable, detail‑focused, and keen to keep developing my technical skills in engineering and welding‑based roles.
Experience
I’ve worked across stainless steel, polymer, and mild‑steel environments, gaining experience in TIG, MIG, ARC, and pressure‑pipe welding. My roles have included PE welding and site installation work, stainless‑steel polishing and fabrication, and operating workshop machinery such as gantry cranes, forklifts, press brakes, and rollers. I’ve also led a production team, managing workflow, quality control, and health and safety compliance. Alongside my engineering work, I’ve taken on part‑time catering coordination while studying, building strong communication and organisational skills.
