OSBORN ENGINEERED PRODUCTS

APPRENTICE - BOILERMAKER

After completing high school military service, in the absence of financial assistance which would

afford me the opportunity to gain a tertiary qualif ication, I entered into the market most readily

available to me banking.

I have moved as opportunities presented themselves to me to work in an environment that would

allow for growth and further education.

After completing a Certificate in Practical Management (whilst working as a Project Accountant), I

developed a desire to gain some hands-on experience in the manufacturing and construction

industry. I had the opportunity of working part time at a small family run engineering company

between 2006 and 2008. Once my skills had developed to the extent that I would be an asset to the

company, and because the company was awarded a contract that demanded increased capacity, I

moved from accounting into the engineering industry. I was appointed as the lead boilermaker, and

worked in this position, with increasing responsibility and complexity of work from November 2008.

In September 2011 I had the opportunity to work from home, doing light to medium steel

fabrication, which I have done since then.

I have had exposure to a number of roles in business and feel that this has given me a goodunderstanding of the ins and outs of business, with the added advantage of understanding the

restrictions and limitations facing artisans.

I have also had the opportunity to work as a mentor and advisor in a number of different roles as a

trainer on mission, as a tax manager, as an accountant training new employees in Sub Sahara African

countries (Kenya, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Madagascar), and as a teacher in my church.

I am patient and friendly in all interpersonal relationships, and able to establish and maintain good

working relationships with managers, colleagues and sub-ordinates. I have good staff management,

motivational and training abilit ies.

I have a track record for establishing, developing and maintaining internal and external client

relationships, at all levels.

I am successful in identifying problem areas, recommending and implementing workable solut ions in

a variety of environments.

I have strong communication, interpersonal and presentation skills.

I am proficient in English and Afrikaans.

I interact well on a one-to-one basis and in a group situation at peer, superior and subordinatelevels, both as leader and in a key support function.


2/15

I enjoy a challenge.

I am flexible and innovative in applying knowledge and experience to different circumstances and

environments.

I work well under pressure, have a strong sense of obligation toward employer, and am willing to

make sacrifices to meet deadlines.

I believe that I have a lot to offer OSBORN, and that my passion for knowledge will be an advantage

as an apprentice boilermaker and the people I will be working with because enthusiasm is

contagious.

I look forward to a favourable response from you. Yours sincerely,

Andr de Villiers
