Juwan Bezuidenhout

Dear Recruitment Manager

I have completed my 2-year training towards becoming an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer  at Fujairah Aviation Academy in the United Arab Emirates.  I have been employed as intern at Execujet (Dubai) and have gained approximately 640 hours practical experience and on the job training in various areas of private jet aircraft maintenance and repairs.

 I am proud to mention that I have been one of the top two performers in my class; this serves to prove that I am dedicated, performance orientated and focussed on achieving my goals. 

Since relocating back to South Africa, I have worked as Sales Specialist for an Aviation Fuel company, which supplies bulk AVGAS, Jet Fuel and various types of chemicals to a variety of industries.  I am currently employed as an apprentice in the FMCG printing industry. 

Although I found the position to be interesting, my passion lies in the technical field and I am now seeking employment opportunities to establish myself in a new career path. I am technically inclined and rather see myself working in a technical environment. My vision is to qualify and build a successful career as artisan.

Although my training and experience were in the aviation field, I am confident that the experience gained will give me a solid foundation for executing tasks in other industries.

I have the ability to work well under pressure; I respect diversity of team members and my excellent communication and interpersonal skills will ensure that I have a good working relationship with my colleagues.

In addition to my knowledge and experience gained during training and my personal qualities, I have a solid education foundation and a passion for high standard of service. I am extremely enthusiastic about focus on quality and would welcome the opportunity to contribute to your company’s maintenance and repair needs and goals.

Please review my attached resume for any additional information regarding my training and experience.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Juwan Bezuidenhout
