Henderson, Western Australia, Australia
I am a born South African and a naturalised Australian, married to a loving wife, Linda. We have no children of our own but we do have two cats which we treat as our “Fur Babies”. I'm a passionate astronomer and photographer. I have a mantra:" South African by birth but Australian by heart" As a multi-skilled tradesman in electrical and mechanical, I have maintained my knowledge of all but have dedicated myself to the electrical field. I specialize in switchboard and distribution board estimating and production. Part of my specialty is to consult with customers to determine their requirements and provide a solution to their requirements. I have extensive experience in Estimating and Project Delivery with an inclusion of the analysis of tender invitations and tender requests and do a full review of the Tender scope and Tender offer prior to submission. I have hands on experience in the estimating of electrical equipment and switchgear through to small distribution boards, Main switchboards and Motor Control Centres to large mining projects with values ranging from a few dollars to multi-Million Dollar projects. Exhibiting an ability to submit and assist a quality tender that conforms to the request and crosses the T’s and dot’s all of the I’s. Being from a trade background and having more than 8 years’ experience in Estimating and Project Management, I feel that I can use my trade background and resolve technical problems if and when they arise. The evaluation of work methods and techniques will also be scrutinised to make sure that you work smarter and not harder. I have formed a well-developed communication skill and feel comfortable to present to the workers on the shop floor up to the CEO of a company. My belief is that you must commit to your employer and your work and do your work with the same energy and passion that you do your hobbies. Adapt to your circumstances that you find yourself in and never try to adapt your circumstances to suit you.
