Werner Van Den Berg Email and Phone Number

I am permanently located in Betty’s Bay, Overstrand, Western Cape Province. I am 40 years old, with a stable marriage and 2 kids, aged 11 and 13 respectively. I have no criminal record and am in good health. I have spent the last fifteen years working at various mining sites in Africa, the longest being at the Glencore Mutanda Mine in Katanga, DRC.I am an experienced, well skilled individual performing in all activities related to re-lining and/or rubber lining in different mining environments; both from an operative and supervisory position/s as well as the maintenance and re-lining of crushers and the various types of mills used in the processing of rare minerals and metals.I have been certified in Occupational Health & Safety, focusing on open cast mining (with specific experience in Sub-Sahara Africa).I have also completed my certification for the operation, technical instruction and maintenance of UHP machinery (through AfricaTuff) in a mining and processing environment. I have extensive knowledge and experience related to the operation and maintenance of UHP units and am currently contracting for AfricaTuff as Technical HOD.The above-mentioned skills and competencies enable me to offer full instruction on the UHP unit and to certify others on the operation and maintenance of such equipment.I had been contracted via TIG (The Icon Group) for four years at Glencore’s Mutanda Mine in the DRC. Due to Glencore’s suspension of mining activities at this site, I was retrenched in December 2019 but have kept active as a remote contractor.I have a demonstrated record of performance (evidenced by attached letter of recommendation) and as a UHP Supervisor at Mutanda Mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). I work well in teams and is well accepted by superiors, peers and co-workers alike. I also have an exceptional work ethic and manage well in a remote work environment.I have successfully been operating my own business since the advent of Covid-19. I am also a volunteer with the NSRI (National Sea Rescue Institute) Station 42, where we aid and assist with first aid, rescue and retrieval of persons in life threatening situations at sea.I would like to return to my preferred profession at the earliest opportunity now that lockdowns are no longer in effect. Relocation opportunities for me and my family would be favourable, and I would be a great asset to your team.
