I have practical experience in manual mine clearance, technical surveying and battle area clearance, organising field operations and staff training.
In my current role, I lead a team of 10 staff members, and I am responsible for organising and ensuring the safety of operations, allocating tasks, and ensuring that equipment is in good working order and operational.
