Summary
Dynamic toolmaker who is a fast learner and easily adaptable.
Having Emigrated from South Africa in 2015, I started at Cameron Tool beginning 2016 and I completed my apprenticeship in ending 2020.
I have built new dies and have done tryout on new dies but have not been limited to those duties. Having moved back and fourth from bench to tryout over my four years as an apprentice, I am well equipped and versatile.
I am hard working and a never say attitude that has served me well.
