Casually work with Smale Cranes by being a dogman, working alone side the crane driver hooking the loads up and directing the crane.

Gained hands on experience assisting with the repair and maintenance of a gearbox for a Rubber Mill. Developed practical skills in mechanical troubleshooting and learned key repair techniques under the guidance of experienced engineers.

Support daily operations across the factory, performing a wide range of tasks including cleaning, painting, cutting steel, drilling and assisting on job sites. I'm also responsible for deliveries and pickups, ensuring timely and efficient transport of materials and goods to the factory or job sites.

Worked part-time for over two years while still in school, overseeing various activity zones and ensuring safety - particularly monitoring trampoline areas, also responsible for organizing and running children's birthdays parties, providing a fun and safe environment for guests.

I shadowed experienced mechanics over several weeks, gaining hands on exposure to vehicle servicing, roadworthy certifications (RWC) and general repairs. Learned about the tools and equipment commonly used in automotive work and assisted with basic tasks under supervision.
