I started my career in December 1994 as an apprentice draughtsman at EMS, a project management company in Cape Town. Since then, I have been working in a multi-discipline engineering environment for the last 29 years.
I am qualified as a civil and structural designer and registered as an Architectural Technologist with the South African Council of Architectural professionals.
Over the years I have gained experience in various industries and projects as a 3d designer, site supervisor, and later, design office manager. I have been involved with some interesting projects in the past, to name but a few highlights of my career.

Mozel Aluminium smelter - The Mozal Project included the construction of a 250,000-ton-per-annum primary aluminium smelter located west of Maputo city in Mozambique.
At the end of 2022, I was given the opportunity to join the engineering team at Stormwater360 as a Stormwater design consultant. I am very excited to start this new chapter of my career and to be part of a company that is passionate about the environment and a sustainable future.
