Mhlauli revved up for engineering job

His passion for problem solving and fixing things saw him pursue a national diploma in mechanical engineering at the Walter Sisulu University which Siyabonga Mhlauli, 25, recently completed.

Although he is due to graduate in May, Mhlauli says he is ready for the working world with his academic results in hand.

“I enrolled at WSU in 2013 and I completed my theory in record time even though I struggled to get in-service training which is why I will only be graduating later this year.”

“However the delay has not dampened my spirits because I am more motivated and driven than ever to take what I have learnt into the real working world.”

“I have always had a passion for fixing and improving things, and I gained an interest in mechanical engineering because of my love for cars,” he said.

Mhlauli said he pursued his studies with the hope of one day working for a massive automotive company.

“I’ve always been very ambitious and I see myself growing. I always imagine myself working on futuristic cars. I’m passionate about the sound of cars and of course the engine the most important part of a vehicle besides the outer beauty which is often attractive to others.”

He says he excels at good written and oral communication skills in English and also boasts of an ability to design, identify, improve and calculate. “With my skill and in-service training experience, I can confidently say I use the machinery effectively, decreasing time of operations and exercise excellent time management. I have also established a great ability to collect, manage, analyse and interpret data which allows me to produce great results, conclusions or recommendations,” he said.

Mhlauli says he is open to learning from others and to taking instructions.
