STUART BROWN

Artisan Boilermaker
Cape Town

Summary

Experienced professional in automotive testing with 16 years of experience, specializing in quality compliance audits by National Department of Transport and SABS. Motivated by limited job opportunities and industry growth, I pursued further studies to expand career prospects. Recently transitioned to a new role as a Boilermaker apprentice at Atlantis Foundries in the maintenance department, eager to continue developing skills and expertise. In July 2025 I passed my Trade Test obtaining my Boilermaker Red Seal certificate and continued working at Atlantis Foundries as an artisan Boilermaker.
