I turn technical drawings and specifications into compliant, cost-effective project outcomes.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I've supported roofing, insulation, structural steel, and building-system projects at Macsteel, Rigifoam, Global Roofing Solutions, Alania Building Systems, and AVENG GRINAKER-LTA. I build contractor, architect, and quantity surveyor relationships, secure product specifications, assess sites, and provide accurate quotations.
At Rigifoam, I create and update client-approval drawings, compile Rational Design reports compliant with SANS 10400XA ED2, calculate material quantities, produce BIM files, and support architects and engineers. I also present CPD-accredited content and discuss specifications with architectural and professional teams.
I've managed drawing-office operations, estimating, negotiations, schedules, drawing control, and compliance audits. I bring a structured, analytical approach that combines technical precision, commercial awareness, integrity, and continuous learning.
