What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging technical HSE role in an industrial or project environment where I can lead ISO-aligned safety and environmental systems, drive zero-LTI performance, mentor teams, and support contractor compliance.

I am an HSE manager with ten consecutive years of experience developing and managing OHS and environmental programmes across education, construction, manufacturing, engineering and renewable hydro energy sectors in Johannesburg, South Africa.

I have led safety and environmental delivery on large Eskom hydro and gas outage projects, implementing ISO 9001/14001/45001 systems, contractor management processes and incident investigations that contributed to consecutive zero LTI and zero environmental incident records.

My strengths include risk assessment, EIA delivery, permit-to-work systems, audits, training and stakeholder engagement; I seek technically challenging roles where I can apply my practical EHS competence to achieve safe, compliant and efficient operations.
