About

Senior infrastructure construction professional with over 30 years of experience delivering high-voltage transmission line, substation, and renewable energy projects across South Africa.

I specialise in acting as a technical and construction representative, ensuring contractors deliver compliant, safe, and high-quality infrastructure aligned with grid and project requirements. My strengths include construction governance, risk mitigation, quality assurance, and stakeholder coordination across utilities, EPC contractors, and developers. Now focusing on senior advisory, Owner’s Engineer, and construction assurance roles where deep execution knowledge can be leveraged to safeguard project outcomes while supporting efficient and compliant delivery of complex power and renewable energy infrastructure.
