Ruan
Apprentice
I’m an engineering apprentice with a hands-on mindset and a passion for problem-solving. I thrive in environments that challenge me to learn, grow, and push my limits – whether it’s in the workshop, the the gym, or tackling new technical skills. Welding is one of my favourite parts of the trade; I enjoy the precision, the creativity, and the satisfaction of building something from the ground up. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me training at the gym or setting new goals that test my discipline and focus. I’m driven by the idea that hard work pays off and I’m always ready for the next challenge.
