They were three intense and formative years during my internship at the workshop specializing in the repair of bulldozers and excavators. When I first started, I only knew the basics of mechanics, but day by day I learned to work on huge machines, discovering complex hydraulic systems, powerful engines, and different diagnostic techniques. I worked alongside experienced mechanics who taught me patience and precision—essential qualities when dealing with machines that are both massive and delicate.
Over time, I became more independent: I began performing inspections, replacing components, carrying out scheduled maintenance, and handling small repairs, eventually taking part in the complete overhaul of excavators and wheel loaders. There were challenging moments too—unexpected breakdowns or jobs that seemed impossible—but every obstacle overcome helped me grow both professionally and personally.
Today, I look back on those years with pride: they were my first real step into the world of heavy machinery mechanics and gave me the confidence and skills to continue on this path with passion.
