I am a Chartered Engineer (CEng, IMechE) and senior project and engineering leader with 20+ years of experience delivering large-scale EPC and infrastructure programmes across Southern Africa, East Africa, and Australia — spanning the full lifecycle from development and feasibility through construction execution to operations and asset performance.
My career spans renewable energy (wind, solar, hydro), water infrastructure, and gas generation, with a consistent track record of leading multidisciplinary teams, managing EPC contractors, and delivering technically robust, high-value outcomes in complex environments.
What I bring to organisations:
— Engineering leadership and technical authority across diversified project portfolios
— Owner's engineering and EPC contractor management (FIDIC, NEC, JBCC)
— IFI-funded programme delivery — World Bank and KfW-financed infrastructure in Mozambique
— Project finance support, lender interface, and bankability inputs
— PMO/PgMO setup and programme governance
— Proven Africa delivery: South Africa, Mozambique, and broader Sub-Saharan Africa
— Demonstrated CAPEX performance: AUD $2M saved at Arrow Energy; 10% CAPEX reduction at Gold Coast Desalination Plant
I am currently based in Somerset West, Western Cape, and open to senior leadership roles in renewable energy, infrastructure, and IFI-funded programmes — in the Western Cape or hybrid from Johannesburg.More...
