Arnold Stefan De Beer
Pretoria
Summary
Experienced business professional with strong focus on team collaboration and achieving results. Skilled in operations management, strategic planning, and resource optimization. Known for flexibility in adapting to changing needs and providing reliable leadership. Prepared to make significant impact in driving business success and fostering team growth. The main reason I am seeking overseas employment is to fulfill a lifelong dream of working with farming equipment and trucks in the United States. I bring the flexibility and dedication needed to contribute to a sustainable and profitable operation, regardless of the time or conditions. I am not seeking a management position and am willing to take on any task required, such as sweeping sheds, picking up rocks, cleaning vehicles, or other general duties. I am also more than willing to work extended hours, including 16-hour shifts and weekends, as I regularly log 100-hour weeks in my current trucking business.
