Jaco van Zyl

I'm an individual that is driven by curiosity, new knowledge and dedication to my work and the company I work for.

Throughout the years I have learned and sharpened my skills to drive myself forward in the work environment and inspire those around me to better themselves and focus on the goals to be achieved.

Having an engineering mind set made me excel in learning technical skills such as CAD software, CNC programming and operation, CMM programming and operation. My degree in Cost Engineering (Quantity Surveying) also gave me around ten years worth of technical drawing interpretation and reporting, whilst working in a team with the various departments in the companies as well as with customers.

My personality and willingness to teach others has always made me well liked by many of my colleagues, especially by the apprentices.

I am currently looking to relocate internationally to expand on my experience and hopefully be able to help grow a company and fellow employees along the way.

Kind Regards

Willem van Zyl
