DEVELOPED ABILITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
- I am a hardworking individual who does everything to the best of his ability. The experience I gained has allowed me to develop a wide range of abilities such as communication, lateral thinking, interpersonal and planning skills. I can work both on individual and team basis. I tend to show initiative, use my creativity in solving the problems and enjoy seeing projects to a positive conclusion.
- In the past 3 years with Eskom, I have achieved 3 awards; for assisting in the completion of unit 6 in Kusile, when there was no hope from the project team as it was stripped almost to the ground. For assisting in returning unit 4 in Medupi back to service after an explosion in the turbine in 2021; and lastly, for being able to engage the project team as construction was on-going in both power stations and assisting the QS department to close on the outstanding IPCs.
