About

I’m Tendai Chenga, a Mechanical Engineer based in Harare, with three years of hands-on experience supporting water infrastructure and electromechanical maintenance. I focus on keeping rotating equipment and water systems running reliably—maintaining turbomachinery, pumps, piping, and related electrical components to support safe, continuous water operations.

I also enjoy improving maintenance performance through preventive maintenance scheduling, mechanical fault-finding, and design reviews for pumping and dam outlet works. With experience coordinating maintenance and operational activities in a service-centre environment, I bring a safety-first, analytical approach—and I’m skilled with AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor to support planning, reviews, and practical engineering execution.
