I have been involved with the drilling of blast holes for Sandvik Mining, had to do trouble shooting for the customer to get the meters we were tasked. I have been a technical sales and support representative for them helping the customers with choice and best practices to go about their drilling on the benches.
i was involved in some underground drilling at Argenys helping the customer there.
I have done some materials handling with Sandvik and Tenova, i was involved with the training of the drillers to teach them basics on drilling on the different machines.
I have been on site technical back up for Drilling Project services doing field testing at various mines.
I have worked in the drilling and blasting industry on different mines for the past 14 years. I am a hands-on person, problem solving for customers within the industry. In my line of work, I have been exposed to Iron Ore, Manganese, Diamonds, Uranium, Zink, Copper and Coal mines all over the South African and neighboring states. I am familiar with all different machines that are in the market at present drilling holes on the different open cast mines. You will note in my work history attached, I assist customers to get the best performance out of their tooling and best cost per meter drilled. I have travelled to Botswana and Namibia for testing of products.
I believe that I have an excellent work ethic and extremely involved with all tasks at any given time, I am able to travel no problem.
