Gaborone, Botswana
Key Responsibilities Lead the design and development of greenhouse tunnel structures, including customized roll-up tunnels tailored for various agricultural needs. Produce detailed technical drawings and structural specifications using CAD software and engineering tools. Supervise the entire project lifecycle of tunnel installations from concept design to fabrication, logistics coordination, on-site supervision, and final commissioning. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (fabricators, agronomists, and installation technicians) to ensure designs meet performance, sustainability, and safety standards. Conduct site assessments and client consultations to determine optimal structure placement, orientation, and design modifications. Develop scalable hydroponics systems tailored to large-scale farming, including layout planning, system design, and integration of nutrient delivery systems. Key Achievements: Roll-Up Tunnel Projects Successfully designed, fabricated, and supervised the installation of five roll-up greenhouse tunnels, the largest being a 10m x 30m structure, optimized for high ventilation and crop protection. Introduced structural enhancements for improved durability against local climatic conditions, including wind loads and UV exposure. Improved installation efficiency by 20% through modular design revisions and fabrication streamlining. Hydroponics Farming System Designed and implemented a complete hydroponic system for a 400m² space, supporting commercial-scale production. Integrated efficient nutrient delivery and drainage systems, maximizing yield and minimizing water waste. Enabled a client to transition from soil-based to soilless farming with measurable gains in productivity and consistency of output. Client Impact and Innovation Delivered tailored greenhouse solutions to diverse clients, including commercial farmers and agritech startups.
