Karol Stofira

Dear visitors of my CV website, welcome!

My name is Karol Stofira and I am proud energic father of two beautiful kids Filip and Liana, married with lovely wife Monika, still trying to be patient and everytime responsible. From "manufacturing" date 14/02/1987 I like to learn everything new, but the most I like is to be a creative.

What I Do

Project Planning

Planning of conveyor projects from the initial conceptual phase, the subsequent implementation phase to the final acceptance of the conveyor technology system by the end user.

Project Management

I would like to attach particular importance to managing and completing the projects within the agreed cost-technical budget level and time schedule to the satisfaction of all internal customers.

Layouts drawing

Drawing layouts and draft concepts of conveyor technology in Bentley Microstation software ist one of my competencies. I often see space for implementation of concepts in productive areas even where another colleagues do not see it...

Web Design and nice features

In my free time I like to look for beautiful design (e.g. Home design), nice features and I´m interested in creating webdesign. I like all things, which are related to design.
