About Nicolaas

Junior mechanic. Road construction focused. Workshop-raised.

Nicolaas is a junior mechanic targeting road construction crews and plant workshops. He has been around tools and engines since the age of 9, working alongside his father, an auto electrician, and his uncle, a well-known private Mercedes mechanic.

On site he is hands-on with road construction plant including tractors, CAT and BOMAG equipment, and is comfortable on a civil crew. He is ready to step into a junior mechanic role on a road construction outfit and grow from there.
