What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles in mining infrastructure where I can lead multidisciplinary teams on TSF, earthworks and civil projects, drive safety and compliance, and deliver projects on time and on budget.

I am an accomplished Project Manager and Geotechnical Engineer with deep experience in gold mine development, tailings storage facility (TSF) construction, earthworks and infrastructure across Africa. I have led multidisciplinary teams on large-scale mining and civil projects, overseeing project planning, design review, construction management, quality control and regulatory compliance to deliver projects on schedule and within budget.

My career highlights include senior roles managing greenfield haul roads, TSF and plant civil works, laboratory quality assurance, and material testing programs. I combine technical geotechnical expertise, practical construction supervision and stakeholder engagement to mitigate risk, ensure environmental and safety compliance, and drive performance improvements on complex mining infrastructure projects.
