Civil Engineer at National Transmission Company South Africa designing high-voltage substation infrastructure and automating engineering workflows.

Message

At National Transmission Company South Africa, I design geometric roads, hydraulics, and terraces for major high-voltage substation projects. I use Bentley Systems and Open Roads Designer to deliver construction-ready infrastructure models.

I also develop Python scripts and automated spreadsheet logic to streamline civil engineering workflows. As Secretary for the Civil Technical Review Committee, I govern multidisciplinary technical submissions and help manage engineering risk.

At Rand Water, I worked as an Assistant Project Manager administering FIDIC contracts, evaluating contractor claims, and reviewing payment certificates. Earlier, as an Assistant Resident Engineer, I supervised water infrastructure construction and verified contractor quantities for payment certification.
