Victor Mapfumo

• Systematically tracked all service requests for electrical issues ensuring prompt response times; maintained personal accountability leading up-to-date records demonstrating a consistent response rate averaging under four hours per request throughout operating periods
• Diagnosed and solved complex issues in AC/DC drives and PLCs, achieving a significant reduction in downtime for Siemens and Lenze systems
• Implemented systematic preventive inspections and overhauls on AC/DC electric motors leading to a reduction of unplanned outages during peak operations times, ultimately improving productivity levels for three different departments
• Designed wiring schematics for three-phase and single-phase systems, including motor starters (D.O.L, Star-Delta) and automation circuits
• Modernized preventative maintenance schedules for key factory utilities, including steam boilers, pumps, and air compressors; identified and resolved inefficiencies, ensuring over15 machines operated continuously without downtime for six months
• Effected comprehensive earthing and bonding procedures that enhanced safety protocols, leading to the certification of12 industrial sites with zero electrical incidents reported over a one-year period
• Championed the onboarding and mentorship initiative for new five electrical apprentice hires that fostered hands-on learning experiences; personally evaluated performance metrics leading to an increase in first-time pass rates on certification exams
• Developed and enforced a comprehensive safety training program, achieving a30% reduction in workshop incidents and sustained an orderly, risk-free workspace

▪ Conducted industrial machine breakdown responses, and equipment availability

enhancement, reducing downtime by 15%.

▪ Created systematic inspection protocols leading up to the overhaul process for aging equipment with specific focus areas yielding actionable insights concerning potential failure points affecting ten different facilities under supervision.

▪ Performed exhaustive inspections and rigorous tests on 20+ newly installed electrical installations that uncovered potential hazards prior to certification resulting in zero major incidents or faults reported within a year.

▪ Constructed and wired 30+ custom built control panels with high precision.

▪ Established rigorous quality control measures including daily site inspections and pre-emptive risk assessments which directly contributed towards maintaining optimal workplace conditions recognized as 'safe' by governing regulatory bodies during external evaluations.

▪ Coordinated communication strategies among engineering teams regarding resource allocation and scheduling needs for ongoing maintenance work—this effort saved approximately five hours per week spent resolving miscommunications related issues.

▪ Supervised the tracking and replenishment of essential spare parts stock exceeding $500K in value; which resulted in parts availability during emergency repairs.

▪ Directed reliability, corrective, and predictive maintenance for all plant electrical equipment and systems.

▪ Achieved plant availability of 97% by optimizing equipment performance through strategic utilization of planned maintenance allowances, directly reducing machinery breakdowns and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

▪ Controlled monthly departmental budgets by overhauling, testing and taking of care of AC and DC motors which minimized motor rewinding expenses by at least 50%.

Increased substation and generator reliability through a detailed schedule of predictive maintenance, resulting in an uptick to 98% operational efficiency while minimizing unplanned downtime across critical systems.

▪ Addressed critical system interruptions with precise troubleshooting measures that restored functionality within two hours on average; facilitated continued operations and maintained consistent output levels during peak periods.

▪ Improved response times on maintenance requests through active participation on-call shifts, resulting in decreased unplanned outages from four per month down to one while increasing overall productivity across bottling lines.

▪ Coordinated multi-faceted maintenance initiatives targeting key areas of improvement, leading to measurable increases in system productivity levels sustained throughout daily operations.

▪ Ensured checklists and inspections were up to date and accurate.
