What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering or project role where I can lead capital projects, improve reliability, mentor teams, and drive safety and cost-efficient operations.

I am a seasoned Mechanical Engineer with nine years of experience delivering capital projects and operational excellence in PGM mining. I lead high-value capex projects from inception to completion while managing budgets, driving safety compliance, and implementing condition-based maintenance strategies.

My achievements include innovating water recirculation automation that reduced diagnosis times by 60%, a 20% reduction in operational costs through conveyor network optimization, and a 50% reduction in breakdown times via debottlenecking and continuous improvement.

I hold a B.Sc. (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering and a Postgraduate Diploma in Project Management, am PMP-certified, and bring strong HSE, auditing, and cross-functional leadership skills that foster team development and measurable performance gains.
